THE DAY'S NEWS.

thief catcher, Vidocq, has paid the great
debt of nature. It appears that. his- end was most
exemplary, and that he has left a variety of wills,
the possessors of which have come forward in a
most ready manner to claim their legacies. But,
unfortunately for the expectants, one of whom is a
well known actress, no property has been left by
the deceased. The session of the Legislatif Corps
has been prolonged by imperial decree to the 28th
May. The numerous important measures (says
the Constitutiortnel) which remain to be discussed,
in fact rendered the above step indispensable,
A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette of
Berlin, says :—" Several conferences have been held
this week between Prince dallimachi and Countde
Buol, at the last of which Sir Hamilton Seymour
was present. In spite of the agitation in the Prin-
cipalities, no fear is entertained here with respect
to the success of the partisans of the union, and
the Cabinets of Vienna and London are engaged in
drawing up, in concert With the Porte, a reform
of the institutions of th Principalities which may
satisfy the legitimate demands of that party. We
learn, in fact, • that Lord Cl trendon and Count de
Bnol have came to an understanding on a very
liberal, project, which, while maintaining the sepa-
ration of the governments of the Principalities, will
provide for a joint military, judicial, postal, and
customs administration. Above all, it is necessary
to obtain the consent of Turkey to this plan, and
she will not probably reject it"
A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople of
the Bth inst., via Trieste, states that the treaty of
peace signed at Paris between Lord Cowley and
Ferukh Khan arrived at Teheran on the 4th of April,
and was-received with satisfaction by the Shah-and
his people. The disturbances which have taken
place 'in Persia are attributed to financial ember,
rassments.

According to a statement in one of the Copen-
hagen- papers', letters have been received -from
Stockholm, stating that the King, being worn out
with the_ responsibility of affairs, •and in addition
being weak in health; has determined on the
recommeudation of his medical adviSers, to 'With-
draw frota state business, calling on the hereditary
prince to take the direction of affairs prOviSionally
The steam . ship America arrived here from
Boston via Halifax, last evening, bringing over
half-a-million dollars of specie on freight. The
President of the tinited _States had received a_
letter from Mr, Dallas, the American Minister in
London,. announcing the rejection of the. Dallas-
Clarendon treaty by .the British Govefument
The reason assigned, for the rejection was said
to be in consequence of the GevernMent of.
Honduras; not ratifying the treaty of
.last year
ceding the Bay islands on certain conditions.
—Lord Napier was expected shortly to Communi-
cate the fact officially to our government, When the
subject will be considered by the cabinet. Both the
Administration and Lord Napier were at first
inclined to believe the treaty would be ratified by
England, but the recent-debates in Parliatiaient, and
more especially the late English electionsehad
changed their opinions. The Navy Department hav-
ing reason to believe that the crew of the Hightlier,
wrecked on the coast of Formosa, were murdered,
instructions have just been issued to the East India
squadron, to proceed thither to mike inveStiga-
tion. With regard to the Dallas-Clarendon treaty
the New York Journal of Commerce says—" The Pre-
sident's refusal to join the armed coalition of
England and France against China, in order to
compel the Celestials to be civilised and social, and
adopt a liberal commercial policy, is said by others
to be the real reason of this- new complication of
the Central American difficulty. At present, we
confess our inability to decide whether any of the
above conjectures as to the motives of the British
Ministers be true ; nor do we see any thing to be
gained by speculative reasoning on the sullect, as
the next steamer from Liverpool will probably brine
the [authentic explanation from head quarters."
It is understood at Washington that the executive
departments of the Government there will undertake
to obtain some valuable statistics in relation to the
rate of taxation in the several towns, cities, and
S7attes of the Union, and the amount of their
respective and aggregate expenditures. A full and
accurate statement of these particulars would be
interesting and useful. The idea isnot a new one

It he enquiry into the pit burials in St. James's
Cemetery was resumed on Saturday, by Mr.
Holland, and from what has transpired there
cannot be a single doubt that the practice alluded
to is one fraught with danger to the inhabitants
resident in the district in which the cemetery is
located, and should at once be put down; and this,
we hope, the Health Committee will not fail to do,
as the health of a whole community cannot be
placed in constant jeopardy.
Mr. Montgomery Martin has sent a petition to
the House of Commons, urging that th-3 new
Iteform Bill should make provision for members
to represent the colonies. We understand he
proposes twenty colonial representatives—five for
Canada and its tributaries, five from New South
Wales, three for the West Indies, three for the
Jape, and four for the Mediterranean and Channel

A parliamentary circular has just been issued
relative to the money estimates. From this we
learn that the sum required to be voted for the
navy is £5,684 232, and that £3 390,000 has already
been voted on account. At the same time a return
is published of tlle expense incurred by sending
members of Parliameut to see the Spithead review

SOME time ago, in these columns, we adverted
to the very interesting topic of the supply of
Cotton for British manufacture. The subject is
attracting great attention in Manchester and
London, and ere long we anticipate it will, like
all other important social topics, come before the
attention of the Legislature. Millions of the

people in the manufacturing districts are
dependant on the regular supply of this article
for their wages and comfort. The addition of a
single penny to the price of a pound of cotton,
is a very serious matter to the English workman,
and adds four or five millions of money to the
cost of the agjegate imported. At present. we,
are chiefly dependent on the United States of
America for oar cotton. Out of the whole
annual consumption of England, nine hundred
millions of pounds of cotton, seven hundred mil-
lions come from America, This again is produced
by the labour of more than two millions of slaves.
Herr is a perilous state of things. British capi-
talists and workmen dependent on the produce
of slave labour in the Southern States of the

desire for the permanent and regular supply of
this commodity ? As friends of freedom we
