The Gibraltar Chronicle says—" The differences
between France and Morocco were reported some
time ago to have been satisfactorily arranged, but
letters from Tangier mention that the investigation
into the murder of the French subjects atTetuan is
still going on. Lest week Mr. Sumaripa, first
dragoman to the French Legation at Tangier,
arrived in Tetuan and caused some Moors to be
imprisoned. The only grcund for suspecting
them of being concerned in the murder was
that they had been heard to complain that
the Frenchman, who was a swineherd, allowed
his pigs to trespass on their ground. Some of the
Moors afiested on suspicion have been released.
Hash Hash, the late governor of Tetuan, is still a
prisoner at Rabat, and his brother acts as governor
of Tetuzu. The question of the murdered French-
man was supposed to have I.2en finally adjusted
between the two governments, and the sum fixed
as an indemnity to the family of the murdered man
was agreed to by the Sultan. The circumstances
under which the French Government has reopened
the question and caused the arrest of the Tetuan
Moors is not known.

" Sir M. MontEfiare has sent an address to the
rabbis and elders of the Morocco Jews, counselling
them to inculcate on their poorer and less educated
brethren the necessity of uniform obedience and
respect to the Moorish authorities. The danger that
the Jews might lose some of the benefits conferred
by the recent edict of the Emperor from exciting
the hostilities of the Moorish authorities by a too
independent tone in demanding the equal treatment
with Mshomedans ordered by the Sultan, has been
mentioned in letters from Barbary ; and Sir Moses
Montefiore, whose intercession has already done so
much for the Morocco Jews, wisely counsels patience
under petty injuries and submission to the authori-
ties as the best means of preventing the just and
generous intentions of the Sultan being defeated by
the fanaticism of his Mahomedan subjects."

CJIIIIICH-RATES IN CORNWALL.—During the past

corded for anal 38 against a lid rate in the pouna. At

with much spirit.

The Toulon journals mention that the steam

Regiment of the Line, and left for Algiers. The Eylau is
expected to follow with the 37th.
Accounts from Venetia state that the crop of
corn in that country has been excellent this year. The
maize in particular is so abundant that the price has fallen
considerably. The vintage also, which is already partly
finished, will, it appears, give good results,
ROYAL LINEAGE OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE
EXCIIEQUER.—It is not generally known that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer is a descendant of two Royal
houses. Sir Bernard Burke's recently published " Royal
Descents" gives the pedigree cf the Gladstone family, and
shows a descent from Henry 111., Kir.g of England, and
Robert Bruce, King of Scotland. Lady Joan Beaufort,
a descendant of linty 111., married James I. of Scotland,
a descendant of Bruce ; and from this alliance is clearly
traced the descent of Andrew Robertson, sh;-riff sub-
stitute of Ross, whose daughter married Sir John Glad-
stone, Bart , of FaPque and B ilfour, and bordseveral sons,
including the Chancellor of the Exehtquer,—.Liverpool
Mercury.

The Feudal organs of Berlin deny that the Diet
is a competent tribunal in matters relating to the
succession of the Duchies, and propose that each
of the nine principal Governments of the Confedera-
tion should name a jurisconeult to form a commis.
sion, to give an opinion on the question, leaving the
ultimate decision to the Diet. 'rho essential point
is to arrive at a firecly solution, in order to deliver
the populations from tho uncertainty which has
now hung over them for nearly twelve months.
A Copenhagen letter states that the Countess
Danner, the morganatic widow of the late King,
has presented to the muzeum of that capital the pic-
tures and statues which had been left by her Royal
husband, with several other objects of art, and
among them two magnificent porcelain vases, pre-
sented by the Emperor Napoleon.
The Monarchia Italiana states that there has
lately been discovered in the excavations of the
Palatine the trunk of a statue representing the
celebrated Satyr attributed to Praxiteles. Several
copies of that work of art exist in the different
museums of Europe, the belief being that the
original was lost. The mutilated statue which has
just been brought to light, and of which other
fragments have since been found, is considered to
be the original. . . . .

The Lloyd of Vienna states that the price of corn
is so low in the Banat that many landowners cannot
get rid of their stock except at a loss, and the re-
sources of private individuals are insufficient to
furnish such advances as are required. The Credit
Bank at Vienna has decided on opening an estab.
lishment at Temesvar to grant loans on the security
of the crepe.
A terrible accident has just gemmed on the
