FRANCE.

The Moniteur contains the following announce-
ment
The national fete of the 15th August has been cele-
brated at Gibraltar with unexpected splendour. The
steamboat Sesostris had anchored in the roads on the
13th, and the presence of this ship permitted the
French Consul to proceed to the parish church
surrounded by French officers. It was the first
time in the memory of man that a French epau-
lette figured in a public ceremony at Gibraltar. The
Sesostris was dressed out with flags at eight o'clock on
the morning of the 15th. The British squadron, under
the orders of Admiral Dundas, consisting of five sail of
the line, one sailing frigate, with three steam frigates,
and a corvette, were dressed out with flags (pavoisee) at
the same time. The French flag waved from the main-
mast of each of the British ships. At twelve o'clock a
Royal salute of 21 guns was fired from the Admiral's
ship. The course adopted by the British rquadron pro-
duced the greatest and happiest effect on the morale of
the population."
The Mediterranean squadron, under the orders of
Vice-Admiral La Susse, recently visited the port of
Algiers. In a report to the Minister of Marine, he
states that the port i 3 already sufficiently spacious to
allow of the mooring of nine men-of-war and nine
steam-frigates, and that it will afford a sure refuge at
all times. He adds that if certain alterations be made,
a larger number of vessels can be moored.
The Mounted Republican Guard is to be augmented
by two squadrons of 150 men each, and will then
consist of four squadrons comprising 600 men.

Mr. WYLES seconded the adoption of the report.
Mr. RONEY wished to ask the directors to give the
shareholders some information as to the nature of the
agreement at present existing between that company
and the Great Northern.

The CHAIRMAN replied that the matter was in the
Court of Chancery—(Laughter)—and this was the
only explanation he could give.
Mr. RONEY proposed the appointment of a com-
mittee of shareholders, who, in conjunction with the
directors, should be empowered to devise some middle
course, and settle the matter amicably.
This was objected to by Mr. W. V. Stephens of
London, and other shareholders. Other similar pro-
positions were made by various shareholders, but all
of them were withdrawn, Mr. Wyles stating that
were they persisted in he and his brother directors
would be obliged to retire.
The Chairman (Mr. Norton) was re-elected, as also
were Messrs. Wyles and Beasley, the retiring
directors.

Mr. Samuel Newham was appointed one of the

On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a dividend of

This is the first defined plan for Mining in Australia, distinguished
by me following recommendations :
It will promote, for Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of
independent emigrants, who, being generally unacquainted with such
occupations, will derive, from an efficient direction, having at com-
mand all requisite machinery and supplies, benefits not otherwise
attainable. It will also facilitate the emigration of persons associated
with this Company for Milling purposes.
The Peculiar Inducement to Emigrants in joining this under-
taking, will be the large remuneration to the working parties ; and
to Shareholders, besides the large anticpated returns on their capital,
the special and acknowledged advantages of the Cost-book are se-
cured.
An application will be made for a Royal Charter to extend the
powers of the Association.
The Prospectus may be obtained at the offices; and applications
for shares in the subjoined form, with a respectable reference, to be
addressed to the Committee.

This is the first defined plan for Milling in Australia, distinguished
by me lb:lowing recommendations :
It will promote, for Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of
independent emigrants, Is ho, being generally unacquainted with such
occupations, will derive, from an efficient direction, having at coin-
matl all requisite machinery and supplies benefits not otherwise
attainable. It will also facilitate the emigration of persons associated
with this Company for Mining purposes.
The Peculiar Inducement to Emigrants in Joining this under-
taking, will be the large remuneration to the working parties ; and
to Shareholders, besides the large anticpated returns On their capital,
the special and acknowledged advantages of the Cost-book aro se-
cured.

An appdcalion will be mado for a Royal Charter to extend the
powers of the Association.
The Prospectus mAy he obtained at the offices; and applications
for shares in the subjoined form, with a respectable reference, to be

LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1852.

It is the misfortune of eminence to be perpetually
assailed by calumniator?. Above seems, indeed, to be
in!,eparable from distinction. Whenever great things
are achieved, contumely appears to be the necessary
coccomitant of their achievement. Is the maiden
work of a new adventurer in letters published—a
work replete with evidences of genius and originality
—the author is at once accused either of plagiarism
or of affectation ! Does a patriot rise in the
House of Legislature to advocate measures of
national advancement or of popular ameliora-
tion—he is forthwith charged with a shameless
;/AlpicAr:pg after place and emolument? Are
14dtakesidtatained those of a naval or military

GERMANY.

The Prussian journals are debating the question of
the projected marriage of the PRINCE PRESIDENT with
the Princess CAROLA WASA. It is affirmed that the
plea of reference to the Emperor of AUSTRIA. for his
sanction by the father of the PRINCESS, on the ground
of his being an Austrian Field-Marshal, is tanta-
mount to a positive refusal ; that, in fact, it is not
merely Prince WASA who objects to the marriage,
nor the Emperor of AUSTRIA only, but that this
sentiment is participated in by the great powers of
Germany.
A semi-official article in the Lithographed Corre-
spondence affirms that the PRINCE PRESIDENT has not
yet made any positive overtures t 3 the Court of
Prussia on this subject, and that until he takes such
a step the Government will not enter, .in the matter
seriously.

The corporal as well as mental suffering of the
Grand Duke LuDwrG of Baden has increased fear-
fully during the 1.-lt month, and all the fond hope
which existed at the death of the late GRAND DUKE
has quite vanished. Apprehensions are now enter-
tsined that the youthful Prince will soon follow his
father to the grave.
The PRINCE REGENT is in constant attend:nce
upon his sick brother.
Besides his anxiety on his brother's account, the
PRINCE REGENT is greatly harassed by the state of
things in the Church.
Tae 7aalot party of the Archbishop is urging on
a breach with the Government. If the Archbishop
carries out his thr.i,t of susp,nding those of the
clergy who are hostile to him—and of this there seems
to be no doubt—the Government will int2rfere in
their behalf, and will refuse to allow the churches to
be closed. The Church will then be etc facto with-
out pastors.
The Government has done its best to prevent this
breach, but the Church is deter.nin:d to carry an
with a high hand.
Three
English gentlemen, Messrs. MANSFIELD,
COMPRED, and Tuompsox, have undertaken to go
from London to Constantinople in their own boat.
They arrived at Itaasbo!l on the aL :moon of the
10th,
and excited much interest; their little vessel is
built of beautiful mrhogany wocl ; it is 25 feet long,
and rather more than 3 feat wide in the middle. It
is exceedingly elegant, and is rowed by two of the
voyagers while the third steers. It shoots across the
waves with the .rapidity of an arrow. Its weight in
light that two v_lsons can with ease
so exceedingly
carry it out of the water. This we ourselves wit-
nessed yesterday, for the amateur voyagers, in order
to avoid the extremely rapid and dangerous current
just below the stone bridge of the Danube, took it
out of the water on the one side of the bridge, and
carried it to the other.

guns were got out.

THE TRIAL OF HENRY HARRISON FOR EXTORTING

MONEY.

In this case (which bad not concluded when our
report left) the jury retired at 1 o'clock, and did not
return into court until 6 o'clock, when they gave a
verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner
strongly to mercy on account of the good character
he had received. _

Mr. Justice TALFOURD, in passing sentence, said
that the prisoner had been convicted of one of the
most dreadful offences that could be committed by
one man against another; and, if there had been any
ground for supposing that he had been engaged in a
system of extortion of this description, he would un-
doubtedly have been transported for life. The jury
had recommended him to mercy, most probably on
the ground that he had acted from some sudden
temptation, and, as he concurred with them in that
opinion, he would to a considerable extent give effect
to their recommendation. It was utterly impossible,
however, to pass over such an offence without a severe
punishment, and he therefore felt it to be his duty to
order him to be transported for 10 years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL. _

James Newland, the young man who was charged
at this court about 18 months ago with robbing his
employer in Gutter-lane, and who made a statement
on that occasion implicating a Jew of the name of
hart, who was subsequently acquitted, was yesterday
brought up before Alderman Fmnis, charged on sus-
picion of stealing a silver hunting-watch.
It appeared that the prosecutrix, Louisa Jones,
lodged in a house in Great Carter-lane, of which the
prisoner's father was the landlord. The prisoner
lived in the house to take care of it, while his parents,
highly respectable persons, lodged elsewhere. The
watch was safe in a drawer in prosecutrix's room on
Thursday morning, and in the afternoon it was miss-
ing, the prisoner being the only person in the house
besides herself during the interval.
It will be remembered that the prisoner was sen-
tenced to 12 months' imprisonment for robbing his
employer, and, while he was undergoing the penalty
of the law, he trumped up a charge of misconduct
against one of the gaolers of the prison, which was
inquired into, and the statement made by the prisoner
being proved to be utterly without foundation, he was
ordered to be flogged by the common hangman. Since
his enlargement he has associated with women of the
most profligate and abandoned character. No trace
of the watch having been discovered, the prisoner was
remanded for further inquiry.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
George Peacock, jeweller and silversmith, Ao•ar_
street, Strand, was charged with Inving in his posses-
sion u quantity of miscellaneous property belonging 1
to a Airs. Woolf.
It appeared that. Mrs. Woolf is the wife of a person
named Jacobson, a general dealer in Oxford-street, '
who was tried at the Central Criminal Court and sen-

consequence of a respectably-dressed man, who was walking
