have the greatest interest to remove. This explains the
taking possession of Aden by the English ; and it may
be also seen that from that moment Mehemet Alt has
assumed a more imposing attitude. If the Pacha were
to succeed in seizing upon Bagdad after having van-
quished the Turkish army, the English would find
themselves in a very critical position ; nor would the
occupation of the island of Kharrak, in the Persian Gulf,
be of any assistance to them. We are given to understand
that Mohammed Schah is leagued with Mehemet Ali
against Turkey. By such a combination he would be able
to repel the English, and all pretenders to the Crown,
who may menace him on the side of Mesopotamia and
the Persian Gulf, and, by the support of Mehemet and
the Kurds, place the Porte as well in a most dangerous
position."
The Emperor of Russia has recently made the following
grants of estates in Poland :—The domains of Nowemiasto
Korczy, producing a revenue of 8,000 Polish florins, on
Major- General Kuria ; those of Welecz, 5,000 florins per
annum, on Colonel Bakunin ; and those of Rzensnik and
Sadykierz, 5,000 florins per annum, on Colonel Czerewin.
During the last ten years numbers of young Ottomans
Lave resojted to Europe, to study the sciences and make
themselves acquainted with our civilization. France, and
especially Paris, is become for them a new Athens, or a
new Bagdad. We learn that Sultan Mahmoud, in a re-,
port which has been made to him by his Excellency Ach-
met Pacha, his Ambassador to the King of the French,
has just given orders to give assistance to several young
natives of the East, who, having already begun their new
studies, had not pecuniary resources sufficient to prosecute
them, and to take their degrees in the University. This
favour extends to all subjects of the Ottoman Empire,
without distinction of religion. —Moniteur.
The Monitsur contains two ordinances of the 4th of
April, by which the Bulls arc received and published in
the kingdom in the usual form, which institute M. Gallard
(Romain Frederick), Bishop of Meaux, as coadjutor of
the Cardinal Archbishop of Rheims, with the future succes-
sion, and under the title of Archbishop Anazarbe (in par-
tibus), and of M. Allen (Auguste), to the Bishopric of
Meaux.

The following statement confirms what we have said of
the increasing distress of the population of Paris :—ln the
month of March the total amount of the deposits in the
savings bank of Paris was 2,202.615 francs; that of the
sums withdrawn was 3 935,500 francs, exceeding the de-
posits by 1,792,885 francs in a single month. In the last
week the same bank of savings at Paris received on Sunday
and Monday 434,869 francs, and paid back 830,000 francs,
being 395,133 francs more than the deposits. Now, if
we consider the consumption of the city of Paris, it ap-
pears that the diminution in the consumption of meat dur-
ing the three months that have just elapsed amounted to
1,800,0001b5. These facts need no comment. They
prove that the complaints which we hear are not exagge-
rated, and accuse the obstinacy of those who protract in-
definitely a political crisis, so prejudicial to the interest of
all classes.— Courrier Francais.

had not done, and the stoppage continued.

Her MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The fifty-third
Anniversary Concert of the New Musical Fund took place
last evening at her Majesty's Theatre, before a full audi-
ence. The concert was in all respects delightful, supported
by the gratuitous services of some of the most distinguished
scions—foreign and native—of tht musical world. The
Concert concluded with Mozart's overture to The Marriage
of Figaro. The whole affair went off with brilliant ar.d
unbroken effect.

On Friday last Mr. Henry Hargrave, of Bond-
gate, near Ripon, had two ewes which each dropped a
single lamb, and neither lived over a few minutes. On
examining them, it was discovered that both had neither a
tongue or an under-jaw, but were snouted like a greyhound
dog, although perfect lambs in every other respect.—

CANADIAN " PATRIOTS" AT WASHINGTON.
—These " Canadian patriots"—better " incendiaries"—
may hold their public meetings in any of our cities, and
call on the "sympathizers" to aid them ; and peradven-
ture, the British subject will be told that they are " re-
spectably attended." Would that the British public could
once have a peep at such respectability, and they would
little desire the smell of its garments. M'Kenzie and
Theller—Dr. Theller, who escaped from the citadel at
Quebec—had the impudence the other day to present
themselves at the city of Washington, and to offer their
advertisement for a meeting of " sympathizers" to " the
Globe," the organ of the American government, and to
the " National Intelligencer ;" both of which, of course,
felt themselves insulted, and indignantly refused. The
meeting, we are told, was a slender compliment to their
" patriotism," both as to numbers and quality. The
" loafers" of the streets went in to see " the Hons."—

ing in Scriptural knowledge, the numerous children under
the charge of that most excellent Charity, the only one,
except Christ's Hospital, which aids the fallen parent in
the relief of his child, without waiting till it becomes an
asylum.

instantly died in a chair.—Derby Reporter.

On the evening of Thursday last this town was
visited with a flood which, about seven o'clock, rose to a
height unequalled in the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
The rain commenced early, and, from four o'clock it
continued to fall in torrents, so as, with the co-operation of
a high tide, to cause a swell in the Lee (the river running
through this town), far exceeding its usual, limits. The
streets were soon covered with an immense body of water,
which, in certain parts, rose to four feet. About ten
o'clock the flood began to fall, and in some short time dis-
appeared altogether. We understand that not a few shop-
keepers and others have been more or less damaged in pro-
perty. It is gratifying to find that no human life has been
lost. Tralee Mercury.
