NAPLES, SEPT. 30.—The evening before last three ships
of the line, each of 92 guns, appeared before the city, and
cast anchor in the Roads. This event has not only ex-
cited the attention of the inhabitants, but has caused them
some uneasiness, for the commercial differences which have
arisen between the two Governments, together with the
state of affairs in Sicily, give room for all sorts of conjec-
tures. These ships did not give the customary salute, but
were ranged in line of battle within cannon shot of the
city, and have assumed a very threatening attitude. We
learn also that a second division of the French fleet has cast
anchor in the Bay of Baia, and some people assert that
other vessels have been seen from the heights of Caprea.
At the Bourse nothing has been talked of but this event,
and the Funds have fallen. The King called a council of
Ministers, which remained in consultation up to a late hour
of the night. Ammunition and a sufficient garrison were
sent to the forts. Cannon were placed during thy night
upon the quays, and it is even said that the King personally
visited the different stations.

All these demonstrations, accompanied, as they were,
by so much mystery, gave rise to the most conflicting opi-
nions. The general opinion was, that the French Govern-
ment had taken this step, in order to support with an ap-
pearance of energy the representation it has made with
reference to the commercial difficulties, which our Ministry
has delayed to take into consideration ; and it would appear
that this demonstration has succeeded, for the squadron
has left us this morning in the same manner as it arrived
—that is to say, without firing a salute. Many persons
maintain that these ships merely came to take in a supply
of fresh water, but in that case the defensive measures
adopted by the Government must appear extremely ridi-
culous,
The French fleet has really quitted the roadstead, but
not the bay. We learn this evening that the Commandant
has declared to our Government, in unison with England,
that the two Powers formally protested, without reference
to the result, against the intervention of a foreign nation
in Spain whilst they had maintained their neutrality.

Letters and Papers from Madrid to the Bth inst.
have been received. On the 6th the New Cabinet
appeared in the Cortes to announce its perfect for-
mation, and to make the usual confession of political
faith. The following is a list of the Ministers now
charged with the Government of the Peninsula :
Bardaji, President of the Council.
Don Rafael Perez, Home Department.
Don Pablo Mata Vigil, Grace and Justice.
Don Jose Maria Perez, Finance, ad interim.
Don F. Ulloa, Marine and Commerce.
Don Francisco Ramonet, of War.

The new Minister of Grace and Justice is deputy
for Oviedo, of the University of which he was
sometime rector. He is a man of more learning
than tact or experieace, and was ranked among the
Calatrava opposition. R A MONET is and old officer
whose day of glory has long passed away. The
Minister of Justice charged himself with the task of
communicating his own opinions and those his
colleagues in office to the Chamber. The following
is an outline of his speech :
" The Cabinet which has been constituted since yesterday,
although not in so complete a manner as could be desired, has
the honour to appear before the Cortes this day. We
have come for the purpose of expressing our feelings with
the sincerity which characterises each of us, and with the
confidence which the rectitude of our principles inspires.
We have engraved on our hearts the recommendable welds
pronounced by her Majesty in the Royal Session—viz.,
" Here amongst you, in the presence of heaven and earth, I
declare anew my spontaneous adhesion, and my free and entire
acceptance of the political institutions which I have just sworn
in the name and presence of my august daughter, now before
you, whose sentiments I trust will not differ from mine."
With these memorable words engraven on our hearts, can it be
imagined that any one of us would dare to become a Councillor
of the Crown, if we were not firmly attached to the new
institutions? The actual Ministers will labour incessantly
in order that the Constitution of 1837, which we have
freely sworn may be the banner of peace and concord,
which shall conduct all true Spaniards to that welfare, of
which they are so deserving. It shall be our unceasing care
to lessen, as much as possible, the evils of the civil war,
if, unfortunately, we should not be able to procure its speedy
termination. We shall, with pleasure, sacrifice our lives to
preserve public order at home, and promote the security of
the, state abroad, as also to prevent any violation of the
prerogatives of the Crown. In short, gentlemen, our pro-
fesssion of faith may be made in a few words—we shall
observe strictly the constitution and the laws ; we shall use
every effort to put an end to the civil war, and shall coun-
tenance such reforms as may be in harmony with the consti-
tution. As we consider the circumstances of the nation to
have varied considerably from thcae when the Cortes granted
extraordinary powers to the Government, we think it right
to anticipate the wishes of the deputy, Senor Osca, and,
therefore, leave it to the Chamber to adopt such measures
its this respect as may be deemed most advisable. Ministers
arc persuaded that they would be wanting in the respect
and veneration they owe to the august Regent of this king-
dom were they to enter into any explanations regarding
certain expressions that fell from the honourable deputy
(Osca) when he spoke in support of his proposal, and have,
therefore, only to refer to the frank manifestation made a
short time since in the Cortes by Senor Calatrava."

Comment upon the speech of a Minister, whose tenure
of office may not exceed a few days, is unnecessary.
There can be no question of the early dissolution of any
Ministry now established in Spain. The new Cham-
bers meet in December—perhaps sooner—and it is not
to be expected that they will choose to carry on the
public business by an agency not appointed by them-
selves. Madrid never enjoyed more perfect tranquillity.

THIERS'S HISTORY OF TILE FRENCH REVO-
LUTIoN, No. I. ( Bentley) —No publication we think
can be more welcome to readers of all classes than " Thiers's
History of the French Revolution," acknowledged to be
one of the best authorities that can be consulted for an im-
partial narrative of the events of that momentous period.
The notes, now first added by the editor, contain memoirs
and anecdotes from all the most authentic sources—
Necker, the Abbe Edgeworth, Madame de Stael, Bour-
rienne, the Duchess d'Abrantes, Sir Walter Scott, and many
others, may thus be said to be contributors, which gives
great variety to the work. This first number, besides the
text—which comprises the opening scenes of that fearful
drama, in which King, and Court, and Parliament, were
equally at variance with each other—contains Memoirs of
Necker, Mirabeau, Egalite (the father of Louis Phi-
lippe), and Marie Antoinette. The work is very neatly
printed, and the engravings (one of which will appear in
every number) are executed in the very best style of the
art. The illustration in the present number represents the
scene of the assassination of the Deputy Feraud ; and the
principal events of the Revolution are to follow in the
same manner. As the work appears in weekly one shilling
numbers, it comes within the reach of every class, and all
who wish to possess a full and authentic record of one of
the most eventful eras in the history of mankind, cannot
do better than avail themselves of the opportunity now pre-
sented to them.

Lord Melbourne was placed in some degree of dan-
ger soon after leaving the Palace, at Brighton, on Thursday
morning. Having reached as far as Regency-square, on
his road to Winchester, the near leader attached to the
carriage took to kicking and plunging so violently that the
post-boy was dismounted and thrown between the horses,
who were expected to trample him to death, when his
Lordship's valet, seeing what had happened, alighted from
the dickey behind and tried to restrain the vicious animal ;
he, however, soon received so much hurt that he was glad
to reach the rails on the seaside and recover his breath.
Meanwhile the other few passengers, who were on the spot
at the time, had reached the leaders' heads and pacified the
furious animal, but not before they had drawn the carriage
over the legs of the fallen post-boy, but which being de-
fended with the usual side shield worn by post-boys, the
lad fancied he was but little hurt, and mounted again and
rode the first stage, but, on his return, it was found that
the system had received so great a shock that he was
obliged to repair to the hospital for professional aid.—
Brighton Paper.
An inquest was held yesterday at eleven o'clock, be-
fore Mr. Carter and a respectable jury, at the Rose and
Crown, Kew-green, on view of the body of an elderly fe-
male, which was taken out of the river Thames on the Sur-
rey side, at a short distance from Kew-bridge, under cir-
cumstances calculated to induce suspicion of foul play
having been committed, the legs being tied together, and
the eyes tightly bandaged over. It appeared in evidence
that early on Friday morning the under butler of Lord Fre-
ilerick Gordon, at Isleworth, was awakened lay the loud
screams of a woman's voice, and heard exclamations of
" Oh, oh !" as if from a person in distress. They conti-
nued for about a minute and a half. The last was the
loudest of all, and immediately afterwards he heard a loud
splash in the water. He then heard from a man's voice
the words " What a row." All was afterwards quiet.
The female voice grew gradually fainter till the last cry
preceding the splash. The jury, after a patient investiga-
tion, in the absence of fuller and more satisfactory testi-
mony, returned a verdict--" That the deceased was found
drowned, but the jury have no evidence to show by what
means she came into the water."

These Sessions commenced this morning before Mr.
Sergeant ADAMS and a bench of Magistrates. The ca-
lendar, is a very light one, there being only 24 prisoners
for trial.

When the names of the Grand Jury were called over,
one gentleman claimed to be excused, on the ground of his
not being liable. The Act of Parliament required that
persons to serve on the Grand Jury should hold a lease of
land of the full value of 201. He held land, for which he
paid 20/. 165., but 41. of that amount went for ground-
rent, which reduced his holding below the qualification.

Mr. Sergeant ADAMS enquired whether the gentleman
was not rated to the amount of 301. for his house

The gentleman said he was rated at only 201.
- Mr. Sergeant ADAMS—WeII, then, have you fifteen win-
dows in your house, for that would he a qualification.
The gentleman—No, Sir, I have only 14.—(A laugh.)
The CHAIRMAN—You have beat me, being armed at
all points. I must excuse you.
The gentleman—l was aware of that Sir, for I have
read the Act of Parliament very carefully.
The eases which were taken this morning were of a
very trifling nature, and possessed no feature of public in-
terest.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE ClTY.—Active pre-
parations are making within the Guildhall so to renovate
and decorate the building as to afford abundant proof of
the ardent loyalty of the city for their Queen. The hall
itself is undergoing a thorough repair, and is being " im-
proved and beautified," after the most approved manner,
from the flooring to the ceiling. Nothing is to be heard
within from morning till night but the busy hum of congre-
gated artisans of various trades. The ceiling has been
whitewashed, the walls fresh painted of stone colour,
and the capitals of the triple columns which flank
the sides re-gilded, andithe shields above each capital re-
painted and re-emblazoned. In all there are fourteen of
these shields. Gog and Magog have each been measured
and fitted by the painter and gilder for new suits of clothes,
armour, and other ornaments. The laurel crown of the
one, and the oaken wreath and gilded crest of the other,
have been restored to their pristine beauty. They are at
present, however, deficient, of their weapons, which, no
doubt, have gone to the armourer to be re-ground and
sharpened for the approaching grand battle. The flooring
is in the course of being re-laid with entirely new deals, and
considerable alterations are to be made in respect of the
dais or raised platform at the eastern end of the hall. The
wainscotting and chair of state in the centre are removed,
and will be replaced by embellishments of a style and
splendour worthy of the approaching anticipated era in
civic history. At the western end workmen were yester-
day busy in placing a transparency in the centre of the fine
Gothic painted window. The monuments raised within
the walls of distinguished senators and heroes have all been
cleaned and restored, arid are now covered over with Ciln••
YaSS, to protect them from the clouds of dust raised by the
workmen employed in the various repairs and alterations.
A new gallery, capable of holding twice as many persons as
the old one, is being formed over the entrance door of
the hall.

ESCAPE FROM MURDER.—A circumstance which
occasioned considerable excitement in the Tower occurred on
Thursday last, when a labourer named Daniel Timmins, an
Irishman by birth, and who was employed in the Ordnance
warehouses, made some attempts, while in a state of intoxi-
cation, to stab more than one person, whom it is supposed
had given him cause of offence. It appears that Tiinmins
was in the habit of getting drunk, and that he had been re-
peatedly suspended from his employ on that account. On
Thursday he was ordered to go home in the middle of the
day, it being observed tlgtt he was in liquor. He left the
Tower, but not before threatening in a most awful manner
that " some one should fall before sunset." He returned
to the place in about two hours, in his shirt sleeves appa-
rently much excited. The sentry on duty at the gate ob-
served that Timmins had a case-knife in his hand, the blade
of which was but partly concealed by his shirt sieves ; he
did not, however, stop him, but shortly after he saw him go
towards Mr. Holmes, the foreman, who, anticipating some
mischief from Timmins' wild appearance, locked himself in
a small room in the lobby near the gate. Timmings find-
ing himself thus foiled in his intentions upon the foreman,
crossed the passage to Mr. Boulcott's office, the door of
which he hastily opened, and in a hurried way asked if
Joey was there. Mr. Boulcott, whose name is Joseph, and
who is Clerk of the Check in the Tower, was absent from
his office, but the man was told he was in the garden round
the hill, to which he hastily ran, and followed two ladies
within the enclosure ; fortunately, however, Mr. Boulcott
observed the fellow enter, and being pretty well acquainted
with his desperate character, he eluded his view by slipping
round the grotto, and out at the gate. On his return
home he- was fully informed of the fellow's intentions, and
procuring a sword he went in quest of him, but Timmins
had then made his way home, where he was taken some
hours afterwards from his bed, and brought in custody to
the Tower, though not before he had made a violent re-
sistance. The whole affair was investigated before two
of the Magistrates of the Tower Royalty, who have com-
mitted Timmins in default of bail to the House of Cor-
rection. _

Mr. R. Etchelles, auctioneer, was yesterday brought
up on an assault warrant before the Stockport borough ma-
gistrates, charged by Alexander Sharp with assaulting him
and turning him out of his auction-room. The complainant
said that Mr. Etchelles desired him to leave the place,
which he did not do, when he was taken by the coat and
pushed out of the room with great force. The defendant
denied using any force more than was necessary to put him
from the room. The articles selling were extremely costly,
and the complainant was pressing before those who were
buying, whilst he had not himself the power to purchase.
The magistrates, after consulting for a short time, declared
that Mr. Etchelles had a right to send whom he pleased
from the room, and was therefore justified in turning the
complainant out ; they therefore dismissed the warrant.—

On Thursday last the body of the Rev. John Gill,

with his head nearly severed from his body. The unfortu-
