than that brought by the Ceylon.
The Spanish army before Tetuan was 30,000 strong.
The Moorish account of their losses in the battle of
23rd ult., gives 28 killed and the same number wounded,
and 5 prisoners. The Moors captured a Spanish officer.
Sickness had increased in.the Spanish army since its
engagement in the plains of Tetuan.

ing the positions to secure the army against any disaster
which might arise from an interruption of the commu-
nication by sea. Every exertion was being made to
complete the fortifications round the Custom House. ,

ANOTHER MURDER IN KING'S COUNTY.
PARSONSTOWN, Monday.

Intelligence has just been received by a telegraphic
despatch from Tullamore, requiring the attendance of
the coroner to hold an inquest there, on the body, of
Mr. Hewitson, miller, of Ballyduff, who was attacked
in a suburb of that town, at Clare-bridge, on Saturday
evening, the 28th' ult., when returning home from the
market.
It will be recollected that he was robbed of the only
money about him, which was a small sum, and found
by the police so badly injured that it was deemed more
advisable to have him removed to the county infirmary,
which was nearer than his own residence.
Since then he has been in the infirmary, under the
care of Dr. Ridley, labouring under dangerous wounds,
which terminated fatally about 11 o'clock last night.
Mr. Hewitson's death, with • other similar outrages,
has created much sensation throughout the county.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.--YESTERDAY.

THE DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS IN ST. GEORGE'S-IN-

THE-EAST.
The Earl of DERBY enquired what steps would be
taken to put a stop to the disgraceful disturbances in St.
George-in-the-Ea.st.
Earl GRANVILLE said that the civil power had done
all in its power ; but if the ecclesiastical power interfered
it would receive all possible assistance from the police.

distastefular to the people of Savoy, which would
tend to embroil Europe, and which was contrary to the
true interest of France herself.
Lord GRANVILLE said that the annexation of Savoy
to France was a contingency her Majesty's Government
would view with great alarm, as calculated to cause
serious disquietude in Europe, and to disturb the balance
of power ; at the same time, it was a matter in which we
were not directly interested, and against which we could
use remonstrances.

only conditional, intentions of making such a demand.
On the part of Sardinia, Count Cavour had expressly
declared that Sardinia would not sell, bargain, or cede
Savoy on any terms. Under the circumstances he hoped
that the motion would be withdrawn.
Earl GREY declared that nothing would be it
injurious to the interests of Europe than this annexa-

tion. He implored the Government to do all in their
power to avert such a catastrophe. Though he could
not reccommend! the motion to be pressed against the
wish of the Government, he saw nothing unfriendly in
this. remonstrance for the British Parliament to the
Emperor of the French. It had been reported that
a s3cret treaty had been made between France
and Sardinia before the lath war, containing a stipula-
tion that the latter country should receive an annexa-
tion of territory.in Central Italy, and that France should
receive Savoy in return: There was circumstantial
evidence to support this report, yet nothing could be more
immoral or iniquitous than such a compact. He regretted
that when the recent treaty with France was signed a
distinct disclaimer was not obtained from the French
Emperor of any design for annexing France to Savoy.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY thought that nothing
could be more dangerous to the peace of Europe than
any extension of French territory in the direction of
Italy. The independence of Italy and Switzerland
would be imperilled by the annexation of Savoy to
France.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE deprecated . the use. of
violent language to the Emperor of France, Whatever
might be their view with regard, to the annexation.
Lord BROUGHAM asked if Savoy were annexed, what
would be done with the frontiers of Savoy ?
The Earl of DERBY said that whatever might be the
result of the motion, it would have the effect of showing
that there was not a single "peer who was not ready to
protest 'against the annexation of Savoy to France. If
any such act were accomplished, it could only be by
unscrupulous violence on the part of France, or base
connivance on that of Sardinia.
After a few words from Lord Stratford de Redclilre,
The Marquis of NOILMARBY withdrew his motion,
And their lordships adjourned at 8 30 p.m,

HOUSE OP COMMONS.-YESTERDAY.
THE FRENCH COMMERCIAL TREATY.

Mr. S. FrrzoEnALD having asked whether the ver-
sion of the French commercial treaty, published in the
French papers, and, consequently copied into the
English papers was a correct one,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he had not read the
report, but he believed that it was substantially aceu- •
rate; it was, however; impossible to form a fair conclu-
sion respecting the 1341 without reading it. It was his
intention to lay—the treaty upon the table on Friday
next.
