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. Last 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 beard to complain that
the Frenchman, who was a swineherd, allowed
his pigs to trespass on their ground. Some of the
Moors anested on suspicion have been released.
Hash Hash, the late governer of Tetuan, is still a
prisoner at Rabat, and his brother acts as governor
of Tetuan. The question of the murdered French-
mn was supposed to have been finally adjusted
between the two governments, and the sum fixed
as an indemnity to the fenally of the murdered man
was agreed to by the Sultan. The c'rcumstances
under which the French Government has re-opened
the question end caused the arrest of the Tetuan
ISToors is not known.

"Sir M. Montefiore 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 Mahomedans 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 bet moans of preventing the just and
generous intentions of the Sultan being defeated by
the fanaticism of his Mahomedan subjects."

CHURCH-RATES IN CORNWALL.—Daring the past
week two parishes, Lelant and Altarnon, were polled on
the question of church rates. At Lelant 5S votes were re-
corded for and 33 against a lid rate in the pouna. At
Altarnon there were 130 votes for, and 84 against a rate of
6d. in the pound. The contest in each parish was carried on
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
EXCHEQUER.—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 of the Gladstone family, and
shows a descent from Henry 111., King of England, and
Robert Duce, King of Scotland. Lady Joan Beaufort,
a descendant of Heny 111., married James I. of Scotland,
a descendant of Bruce ; and from this alliance is clearly
iraced the descent of Andrew Robertson, sh,riff. sub-
stitute of Ross, whose daughter married Sir John Glad-
stone, Bart , of FaEque and Balfour, and bore several sons,
including the Chancellor of the Exchequer,—Liverpool
Mercury.

A Copenhagen letter states that the Countess
amner, the morganatic widow of the late Kirg,
has presented to the muaeutn 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-
seated by the Emperor Napoleon.
The Illonarchia lialiana states that there has
lately been discovered in the excavations of the
Palatine the trunk of a status 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
fregments have since been found, is considered to
be the original.
The Lloyd of Vienna states that the price of cora
is so low in the Banat that many landowners cannot
get iid 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 Tcmesvar to grant loans on the security
of the crops.

A terrible accident has just occurred on the
site of the late: extensive fire on the premises of
MM. Mery-Sanson and Fleuriot, at Lisieux (Cal
vales). About 20 persons, most of thttu females,
were two days ago occupied amongst the ruins
in ticking out the parts of the bales of wool in
part spared by the flames, when a largo piece of
brickwall, which was considered perfectly se■
cure, fell with a
