SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION.

JOHN SHARPE, grocer, Howe-street, Edinburgh,. Nov. 24
and Dec. 8, at twelve, at the 011 Signet Hall, Royal Exchange.

The Millbrook Iron-works at Swansea, the most
extensive, as well as profit Able in England, the property of
Sir John Morris, arc announced in our columns to-night by
Mr. George Robins. The enormous profit which is now
realised in this trade, renders it unnecessary to devote more
than seven years to the attainment of immense wealth. It it
beliel ed that we should be puzzled to find out any other pur-
suit where a fortune iA so certain and so quichly made..

. .
A few days ago a female in man's apparel, who
had been employed for three weeks by Mr. Thomas Dake,
bricklayer, Newark, to carry bricks, &c., during which time
she laboured hard, was found lying in an outhoulc very ill.
She was taken to the workhouse, where her sex was di,eo-
vered ; and was afterwards removed to the gaol. She calls
herself Mary Ann Grekin, and states that, previous to her
coming to Newark, she made her escape from an asylum,
and had a husband and five children. She has had sonic ob-
stinate wounds on her head.—Doncaster Gazette.
BULL-BAITING AND ATROCIOUS CRUELTY.—
The " Animals' Ft-lend Society" prosecuted 22 cases last
week, seventeen of which were at Stond for bull-baiting ; and
the offenders were all heavily fined by the Earl of Talbot and
Messrs. Clarke and Beech. In one instance the bull's tongue
was literally torn out of its head, and the same bull was again
baited on the following day ! Most of the other cases were at
Union Hall, and the offenders were all heavily fined; one of
whom was a fellow named Foley, charged with having wilfully
driven his waggon wheel over an ass, which cut oft' its hoof,
and the poor animal bled to death•.
MRS. GORE'S NENV WORK.—After the dull in-
terregnum of the Parliamentary recess, the reading public are
accustomed to look for a new work of fiction from the brilliant
pen of Mrs. Gore, as regularly and as confidently as they. lock
for the day to follow the night. The leading tile of the new
announcement (Mary Raymond) is, we understand, of a class
to call forth a kind of power which, we arc satisfied, Mrs.
Gore posseses in a high degre, b••t which she has not hitherto
taxed to the performance of any high end—the power of
educing intense' pathos—a pathcs amounting to the tragic—
from those terrible realities of daily life which, because they
surround us like familiar things, we lose the power of appre-
ciating, and even of duly observing, till they are placed befero
us formally, as interesting fictions ► It is the privilege of
truth alone to affect the 11U31311 heart deeply and permanently ;
but it is the privilege of genius alone to place the truth in
that point of view in which it shall produce this end. •
ISLE OF MAN.—Protected by the fi'hertnen, the
law of the island inflicts a penalty of 3/. on whosoever, either
wilfully or wantonly, shoots one of the sea-gull race ; and
such accordingly is the good understanding between the fisher-
men and these web-footed creatures, that the latter here, in
the neighbourhood of Port Iron, walk about as securely and
peaceably as ordinary ducks in a farmyard. The keen eye of
the gull, when the herrings appear, enables him to discover
the first twinkle of their scales, and detect the myriads that
swim crowding together beneath the wave ; and, collecting
in flocks, they hover over the spot, continually marking by
their progress in the air the finny phalanx below. This saga-
cious manoeuvre infuses life in the village, and the fisher Men
receive the signal with joy. Ever on the alert, they throw
their nets into the boat, and when they return laden to their
homes, the auxiliary gulls receive the reward of their services
in the small fry and garbage,

Some very curious proceedings of a considerable
number of dignitaries of the Church and other Clergy took
place at the Convocation at York on Thursdly. The zealots
were prevented from passing any resolutions or petitions at the
Convocition, but they met afterwards and addressed her
Majesty, abusing the Ecclesiastical Commission (at the head
of which were the Archbishop of Canterbury and tie Bishop
of London) in good set terms, and denouncing the recommen-
dations of the Commissioners and the acts, of the Legislature I
Thus the house is divided against itself—Clergy arc abusing
Primates and Bishops, and depreciating the authority of Par-
liament, which is the very basis on which the Slate Church
rests !! !—Lee a Mercury.

BALLOT.—On Friday evening last the large room
at the Greyhound Inn, Peterborough, the scene of several
Tory feasts, was, owing to a change of proprietors, made the
scene of a different tendency, a public meeting being held
there to petition Parliament for the Ballot. The room was
tolerably well filled ; at seven o'clock the proceedings com-
menced, Mr. Caster in the Chair. Various resolutions were
uianimously agreed to, introduced by Messrs. Millar, Carter,
Whitwell, Head, and Dennis, and a petition in favour of the
Ballot was adopted.

Saturday night some miscreants tied an article in
the form of a maroon to the knocker of Mr. J. Ho•aon's
door, Falmouth, and set it on fire: Mrs. Hooton, seeing
sparks of fire falling outside the door in the passage, opened
it, but Mr. Hooton had the presence of mind to close it just
at the moment of the explosion. The report, which was heard
at a great distance, and thought to be a gun from a vessel just
come in, burst the pannel of the door, but Mr. and Mrs. 11 ►o.
ton were tulunately preserved from injury. There arc some
persons suspected, and we trust the perpetrators will be disco-
vered.— West Briton.

DEMERARA.—By the Christian, Captain Mercer,
arrived on Friday, and the Casket, Captain Brown, arrived on
Sunday, from Demerara, we learn that the yellow fever has
been mak►ng fearful ravages among the Europeans in the
colony, and especially among the crews of British ships in
the river. So much has tins been the case, that there is
scarcely a ship which has not lost several of her crew. The
Christian. however, escaped with only one death, but the
Casket suffered most severely. Every man on board, except
the mate, was laid up, and five died. The survivors state,
that it was most distressing to witness the extent of the pes-
tilence as indicated by the flags that were flying lialf.mast
high from almost every ship in the river. Almost every hour
boats were seen proceeding from the diff.rent ships toward.;
the landing-place opposite the church-yard, having on board
the corpse of a departed shipmate, enclosed in a rude coffin,
and covered with a union-jack, the sailor's funeral pall. Seve-
ral other Clyde ships have also suffered severely, but we for-
bear to particularize until we have acciunts of later dates
than by the sailing of the Christian and the Casket.

It will be recollectml that \lad•ttne St. Jaques, of
St. Denis, near Montreal, -tired from her residence upoa sun-
dry persons who had surrounded her house, and that two or
three persons were wounded, one of whom died. The lady
surrendered herself to the civil authority, and was committed
to prison. We now learn :hat she has been liberated on bill,
and that a medal is to be presented to her for her praiseworthy
and heroic conduct."—Nnv York Pap• r

Accounts received from Canton to the 16th of May,
state that the villages of Ktsantsung and Yahoo, a fen, miles north
of the city, had been inut.dated, and many men and o nrn
drowned. Oa the night of the 20th of Ar-ril, in conseq&nee
of heavy rains, the waters rushed down front the hills, and
flowed round the villages like a sea. The houses were swept
away, and the inhabitants, hell'g unable to es .!.ape were sacrificed
in great numbers. The total loss of life was supposed to be
upwards of 200.

BA D TlMEs.—The fine weaving, as it is called,
of Kendal, has within the last few years been considerably re-
duced in the price paid for labour. One of the " craft" as-
sured the writer of this the other day that be was then weaving
a certain, kind of fine work for 91. per yard, for which 20.
years ago he was paid Is Bd. per yard; and he added tho
price of provisions was no dearer than now. at our telling
him we were afraid the price would still get lower instead
of higher, he saie, " Well, if the price falls half as much in
the next 20 years 25 it his previously done, the landowners
will be obliged to lower their rents, or otherwise the pour
weaver must give over eating."—Kendal Mercury.

Mr. WiEiam Davies, farmer, of Pentwyn, in the
parish of Llarigunnider. was returning from watering his cattle;
he was met by a neigiii•our, who asked him how he did, when
he put his hand to his bosom, complained of illness, and in.
stantly fell down and expired. He had taken his breakfast
as usual.

On Monday morning, as a corn-van, heavily laden,
was descending Loam-pit-hill, near Lewisham, at a'rapid rate,
the driver, William—l Anson, in the service of Mr. PaAby, of
the White Hart Hotel, l3romley, Kent,•fell from the scat on
which he was riding, when unfortunately, before he could ex-
t•icate himself from the perilous situation, the Leo And hind
wheel of the carriage wet:t over his head, and crushed it so
dreadfully as to cause his instantaneous death. The poor fel-
low, whose character was irreproachable, and only 27 years of
Age. has left a wife and two children to deplore his loss.
On Monday alter! o.m, the inquest was resumed, at
at the P!ou,gh, Peckham, on the body of an infant, which was
found floating in a pond at Peckham, with its skull fractured,
arid marks cf stran,,,,..ulition on its throat. The Jury delivered
a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons
unknown." _

On Monday morning the inquest on the body of
Joseph Robson, a mariner belonging to the Bells collier, 'who
was unfortunately run down by the Mercury steamer, on Tues,
day last. was resumed at the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, be.
fo:c C. .1. Carttar, Esq., Coroner for West Kent, when, after
hearing evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
death, with a deodand on the Mercury of one hundred punt's."
The foreman, Mr. Mitchell, after the verdict, addressed the
Coroner to the effect, that he and the major part of his bro.
ther jurors, considered that there lad been great culpable
neglect on the part of those who ha the management of the
steamer.

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1837.

The House of LORDS met yesterday soon after one o'clock.
At a quarter to two all the Peers present who were Privy
Councillors left the House and proceeded to Buckingham Pa-
lace, for the purpose of presenting the Address to her Ma-
jesty. At five o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR, who had then
taken his seat on the Woolsack, acquainted the House that
the Peers appointed for that purpose had been to her Majesty
with the Address agreed to by that House, and her Majesty
had been graciously pleased to return an answer, which his
Lordship then read.
On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the Address
and her Majesty's answer were ordered to be inserted in the
journals of the House.
The Earl of RODEN gave notice of his intention to move on
Monday next for certain papers connected with the tranquil-
lity of Ireland.
Lord NlELestave observed that there was no doubt that he
should be able to prove when the opportunity arrived, that the
genCral tranquillity of thatcountry was in as favourable a state
as at am former period.
The House then zaljourned till Thursday.
In the Boon of COMMONS, after some Members, who bad
not before been sworn, had taken their oaths and their seats, a
great number of notices were given, and some petitions were
presented. Among the notices of motion were the following :
Mr. SHAW LEFEYRE, to move this day for a Select Committee
on Private Bills; Mr. Hawes, to move on Monday next for a
Select Committee to inquire into the regulation of the Police
under the 3d and 4th Wst. IV., c. 19 ; Mr. BARNABY, to move
on the 23th inst. for a Select Committee on the Acts re-
lative to Highways in England and Wales ; Mr. G.
F. Yousn, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the altera-
tion and amendment of the Laws relative to Mortgages on
Ships and Vessels, and to draw the attention of the House to the
formation of harbours at exposed parts of the coast ; Captain
BOLDER°, to move on an early day for a Select Committee
to inquire into the practice of corporal punishment in
the army and navy; Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, to move on
the 14th December for leave to bring in a Bill to declare and
arneed the law relating to the custody of children, and also a
Bill to amend the law of cop; right ; Mr. itUME, to move at
an early day for a return cf the duties paid.on newspapers.
On the !notion of Lord JOUN it was agreed that
Pie House w‘ml:l r,ceire no petition for a 1'; irate Bill after
Friday the Itith of February ; that no Private Bills should be
read a fl.st time after Monday the 22i of March ; and that
tile House would not receive any report on such Private Bills
after Monday the 11th of June.
Mr. C. W. Wyss inquired of Lord J. Russell what course
he intended to pursue with respect to election petitions?
The NOP.I,E Loan met the inquiry by proposing the follow-
ing resolution, which was agreed to ;—That the first election
petition he considered on the 12th of December next, merely
fixing that day for the purpose of propcsing the adjournment
of that and other petitions to a future day, with the view of
their bring core•idereil after the holiday-;.
It was also resolved that no petitions on private Bills should
be received after Monday, the sth of February ; and that no
priv:te Bill should be read a first time after Monday, the 25th
of March ; and that the House should receive no Reports on
private Bills after Monday, the 11th of June.
Lord LEVFSON then brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee appointed to frame an Address in answer to her Ma-
jesty's Speech.
A debate ensued which involves questions of the greatest
possible importanc..o Lord John Russell, it appears, is not
altogether indisposed to the amendment of those details in
the Reform Act which are inconsistent with the object of its
framers ; but he declared himself again last night against
the repeal of the Septennial Act, and not less decidedly
oppoSed to the Ballot. His Lordship, in the course of
his speech, pretty plainly intimated that the present state
of the electoral system was, in his opinion, if not quite per-
fect, at least susceptible of but little improvement. We,
however, apprehend that the country has not arrived
at precisely the same conclusion, from a consideration of
the results of the late election, as that of which the Noble Lord
seems posseFsed, and, we believe, that the electoral body of
the United Kingdom. will shortly convince the Government
of the impolicy of resisting the demand of the nation, for pro-
tection in the exercise of the people's most important right
and obligation.
Mr. BULLER moved for leave to brine; in a Bill to alter and
amend the law relative to contravcrted elections.
Mr. O'CONNELL obiected to the Honourable Member's plan,
as not calculated to do away with the substantial objections
entertained to the present system. Ile proposed to bt lug in
a Bill to establish a new mode of trial in caso,s of controverted
alee'.ion.—Lenve was given to bring i:,'Dotb Bills.
Captain PecneLt, postpone,; nix motion for leave to bring
in a Bill to amend th Law of Coverture until Tuesday week.
The same llon and Gallant Member moved for leave to
bring in e -dill for the better protection of licensed victuallers,
his n• •
o ject being to repeal the law which made hotel-keepers
'stable for the value of goods lost in their houses. The trio-
lien was strongly opposed, and on a division was lost by a ma-
jority of 65.
.... Mr.. Wat.t.aer. srenosi for the appointment of a Select
1--"tilltt,c.e InqUlrt; into the causes of the irregularities and
delays rintch had taken place in the transmission of the mails
by Ina Railway from Birmingham to Liverpool, &c.
Mr. F. BARING stated it to be his intention at a future pe-
tto,i to move for a Select Committee to inquire what means
should be taken, and what powers should be given to Go-
vernment, for the purpose of procuring for the public service
the use ni Ralroads which by Act of Parliament were allowed
to be constructed.
The motion was then withdrawn.
On the motion of Sir R. INGLIS, certain returns relative to
the hereditary revenues of the Crown were ordered.
The remainder of the evening was occupied with a discus-
Sion on a motion made by Mr. BROTHERTON, the object of
Which was to make the House keep earlier hours for its legis-
lative labours. The Hon. Gentleman's motion was rejected
by a majority of 50.

In the House of Lords last night the Earl of R o-
DEN gave notice that he would, on Monday next,
move for the production of certain papers elucidator)' of

tl:e s.:te (if public. tranquillity in Ir:land. In ju,7tiec
to the loyal and peaceable or tho, portiou
of the British tinpitt;,.lll which category we are happy
to inthul2 our fellow subjects professing the Homan
Catholic religion as pre-eminently calansVlZAtous—some
Noble Lord on the Ministeriai side of the House ought
to liavv givn novice of a similar notice with roil:ea to
the present state of crime in England and Scotland. If
Ireland is to be judgcd in this way, let her
be judged comparison, and not be thus in-
singled out as morally criminal because she
is numerically Catholic, and her present Government
corspienously impartial. Let the state of the United
Kingdom he fairly brought before Parliament, and we
have very little doubt that it will appear that I;fe and
property arc more secure in Ireland under Lord Mu r,-
GRA VE, than they ever were in England under the
Tories. The Irish people arc quite as loyal and as
peaceable as the English and Scotch, when they feel
that they arc treated justly and impartially ; and we
have yet to learn that impatience of oppression was
ever regarded as a crime in England. By the way,
the Noble Earl made no allusion to the resracihrtion
of the Orange Societies ; but we trust that the
subject of SWAN'S RepOit will not escape the
early notice of the Legislature. The Orange
Society asserts its right to re-organize itself
under the same form reprobated by a vote of the House
of Commons—to which vote, and the proclamation
of the SOVEREIGN commanding the dissolution of the
Institution, it, in reality, never paid the least attention.
We shall see whether this band of traitors prove too
strong for the Government ; and we shall look to the
notice which the Earl of IIiaDEN will take of their
proceedings, in moving for the papers above referred
to, in order to ascertain the extent of sympathy felt
for them by the Noble Earl himself, and those Peers
who are in the habit of voting with him upon Irish
questions. We have recently had instances of Orange-
men perpetrating the vilest outrages for the pur-
pose of traducing the Catholics—ray, of their shedding
one another's blood with that atrocious intent ; and it
is more than probable that crimes of this horrible na-
ture have been frequent in Ireland, though the in-
stances in which full discoveries of them have been made
are necessarily few, owing to the corrupt power of the
Orange Institution. Put an end to such infernal
atrocities by putting down for ever the Orange sys-
tem, and let Catholic Ireland be governed justly and
impartially, and her people will manifest an obedience
to the laws, and a desire to uphold them, equal to the
pretensions put forth by the unprincipled organs of
Toryism for Protestant England and Presbyterian
Scotland. Even the brief but righteous administration
of Lord MULGRAVE has made Ireland as tranquil as
any other portion of the British empire. The returns
moved for, if correctly given, will bear us out in
making this statement.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL last night, in replying to a
speech made by Mr. C. BULLER, took that opportu-
nity of explaining the motives which induced him on
Monday night to make the declaration on the subject
of Reform, which has afforded so much regret to the
friends, and so much exultation to the enemies, of the
present Government. The Noble Lord also stated, at
considerable length, his views of the intention of those
who framed the Reform Bill in the partitio❑ of the
representative power. While we give the Noble Lord
the highest credit for the manliness and straightfor-
wardness of his conduct in thus, at the commencement
of the session of Parliament., removing all shadow of
doubt as to the length to which he can go in supplying
the defects of the Reform Bill, we have no hesitation
in saying that if he spoke the sentiments of the Cabi-
net, and was authorized to proclaim them on this oc-
casion, the MELBOURNE Administration is in a fair
way to lose the respect of its firmest supporters. We arc
disposed to think, from the way in which he expressed
himself, that lie did not speak as the organ of the Go-
vernment, but merely as an individual member of it.

We shall here. consider only one of the questions
against which Lord JOHN RUSSELL has declared
himself, and which, as we stated yesterday; he
mixed up unnecessarily with the others. There
is no force whatever in the reason which the
Noble Lord assigned for this mode of dealing with the
subject—namely, that some Reformers coupled an
extension of the Suffrage with it. We believe the great
mass of Reformers view the Ballot as the means of
securing the free exercise of the franchise, without re-
ference to its extent, and calculated to operate with
equal benefit in all constituencies, whether small or
great, where undue influence is exercised. The
Noble Lord says that he does not attribute much
efficacy to the Ballot. It would, lie thinks, he " per-
fectly inefficacious as a system of secret voting, and
therefore cannot afford that species of security sought
fir by its advocates." No one will deny that
Lord JOHN holding this opinion of die
Ballot, and thinking hesitks that it would be attended
with many positive evils, is bound to oppose it. Yet it
is well known that he has on several public occasions
hinted that the time might come when it would be
necessary to recur to that expedient, in order to pro-
tect the voter from the tyrannv of his landlord. Did
not this imply some confidence in the Ballot as an
effectual mode of secret voting ? Nay, in the Noble
Lord's speech of last night, where he refers to the
transactions which took place during the discussion of
the Reform Bill, he thus expresses himself I said at
that time that the questions of the Ballot and of the
Septennial Act were not treated of in the Bill
winch I proposed for the reform of the representa-
tive system, hut that they would be always open for
either the Government or any Hon. Member of that
House to bring forward as they might think fit. I
said also that I hoped the House would pause be-
fore it gave its sanction to a system which would
give irresponsible power to the electors." Here
we have a very different reason assigned for the
rejection of the Ballot. Here we find the Noble
Lord declaring, not that the Ballot would be " to-
tally inefficacious as a s; stem of secret voting,"
but that it would be too cflicacious—that it
would invest the electors with an " irresponsible"
rower, which would be dangerous I Was not this an
acknowledgment that the Ballot would be a pro-
tection to the elector ? How shall we reconcile
these opinions ?

We have no wto dwell on the painful disclosures
which have been made in Parliament within these two
days ; but it is our duty to advert to them, in order to
point out what may be their ultimate effect. The
consequences we apprehend will not be such as some
of the best friends of Reform anticipate. The decla-
ration of Lord Jon N 1Z U33EL. L relative to the 13.1110 t,
in his:speech on the Address, and the comparison
which he drew last night between county and town
constituencies, are to be regretted chiefly for the sake
of the party with which he is more intimately con-
nected. We believe his Lordship was perfectly sincere
when he expressed himself in such a decided manner on
both these topics; but the policy of making such decla-
rations is another question. Of this, however,we are cer-
tain, that the Radicals will soon find that they have no
reason to complain of his Lordship. In fact there
never was a declaration made in Parliament so much
calculated to give additional impulse to their opinions,
or to strengthen their cause. It has drawn a distinct
line between the old Whit; party and the thorough
modern Reformers. With the exception of ae cry
fur Reform in 1831, there never was such a general
demonstration of public opinion in favour of any rnea.

It is not calenciting too much on the result to say, that
at the next general election their numbers will be rained
from 1.50 to :300. In the mean time they have only
one safe course to pursuo—to support the party who,
on most other liberal measures, are more in unison with
their own. To separate themselves from the Govern-
ment would only lessen the hopes of their adherents, and
diminilt their chance of ultimate success. Winout
such support the Tories would be in office within a
few months—perhaps within a few weeks—they would

years ; and to know what mischief might be done in
that time, we have only to refer to-their past history.

In the House of Commons last night, Mr. Bao-
TH Ell TON brought forward his favourite motion re-
specting the adjournment of all Parliamentary business
at twelve o'clock at night. Certainly it would be very
adviscable that the House should rise at a seasonable
hour, instead of protracting its discussions far into the
morning, when the attention of Hon. Members is apt to
flag, and even the inspired eloquence of a SurrumtP
cannot rouse them; but we fear the project is imprac-
ticable. Members will persist in speaking, and at
such intolerable length, as to excite the emulation of
others ; • and while this continues to be the case,
there can be no hope of any such timely ad-
journment as Mr. BROTH ERTON would desire to
see effected. We must have epigrammatic, in-
stead of diffuse, orators ; men who condense their
matter, instead of spreading it over columns, ere the
House can with convenience rise uniformly at twelve
o'clock. Besides, the intolerably late habits of society
militate against such a project, which could only be
effected by a social revolution ; and Mr. BROTIIER-
TON, we apprehend, is not exactly the sort of man to
bring about such a wholesale innovation on the re-
ceived customs and habits of the day. His motion
last night led to a discussion, in which much time was
wasted, and some small nonsense enunciated, and was
ultimately rejected by a majority of fifty.

Want of space prevented us yesterday, and must
prevent us to-clay, from resuming our remarks upon the
inhuman outrage offered by the Emperor NICIIOLAS
to the public decency of all Europe, by the levy of six
hundred Polish women for the use of the Imperial camp
of Woznesensk. The, delay of a day or two cannot
affect the interest which England is bound to take in
this question.

The Paris Journals of Monday have all been re-
ceived.• They communicate in an official form the in-
telligence from Spain, received by express, and pub-
lished in most of the London Papers of yesterday.
On the important subject of the French dominion in
Africa, the Charte has the following semi-official
article t

" The Bey of Constantine, despairing of being able to con-
tinue the struggle which he had ventured against the French
armies, and seeing on one hand the impossibility of recapturing
his capital, and on the other, the desertion of the tribes,
which daily come and submit to the French authorities, has
determined on proposing and accepting peace. He confesses
himself vanquished, and submits to the discretion of Frarce.
The Bey has despatched from the desert his Secretary and a
Marabout, to propose negociations, and endeavour to obtain in
his favour a treaty of peace on any terms. Thus the result of
the glorious achievement at Constantine will be the complete
pacification of Algiers, and the undisputed establishment of
our power upon that rich coast, which opens such prospects to
our trade and our naval influence in the Mediterranean."

The tendency of this article is to show that thirst
of conquest has nothing to do with the late expedition
against Constantine, and that with adequate securities
for the maintenance of peace, and security to property,
the King of the FRENCH would restore to the BEY
his capital. Thus the question is w iscly left open fur
the decision of the Chambers.

We arc sorry to learn, that in several of the larger
towns of France the greatest distress prevails among
the working classes. In one of the twelve municipal
districts into which Paris is divided, 12,000 poor arc
supported out of the poor-rate funds.
The latest advices from Egypt, in the French
papers, arc to the 27th of October. A dearth pre-
vailed at Cairo; and throughout the whole of Upper
Egypt, complaints of a scarcity of provisions were
becoming general. In Syria, the troops of the VICE-
ROY had mutinied, and large bodies of them deserted
for want of pay. IBRAHIM PACHA set out from
Alexandria, with a supply of money and a reinforce-
ment of troops, to restore. order, and remove the main
cause of the military discontent.
We have a letter from Milan, of the 12th, to the following
t :

" We know for certain that the vessels fitted out for Spain
Spczzia have sailed; and we have just learnt that another,
now at anchor at Talanionte, near Ocbitello, has taken on
bard sonic soldiers, 'a ho have been lodged for a fortnight in
the fort. IL is impossible to doubt of their destination ; and
agreeably as the Xairs of DJII Carlos are prosecuted with
greater activity in Italy, the persons who have the manage-
ment of them make the greater exertions; the Duchess of
Beira furnishes money, a•id it is c( rtain that Bills of Exchange
have arrived from England. It is even affirmed here and at
Turin that the powers that arc allies of Don Carlos are going
to send him a General chosen by them.
" The parti,aus of absolutism again timer themselves that
the French Government is going to order the evacuation of
acona. We doubt it ; but you may be certain that if the
French really leave that place to-day, the Austrians will cuter
it to-morrow. The Papal Court is more than ever in the
hands of Au'tria, and, besides, it cannot do without its troops.
lit the Legations the weakening of a garrison is sufficient to
fill all the authorities ‘N it h alarm, and at the beginning of this
month there were at Imola, Forte, and Cesarea very unequi-
vocal demonstrations, which it was not thought safe to punish
at the moment. The arrests that have taken place were made
only in the night."—Courrier Francais.

There is n-Tihing in the Moniteur this morning.
The Semaphore of the 19th, received by express, says—
" The forest of the Commune of La Seync is at this moment
a prey to the flames. We do not yet know the cause of this
misfortune. The tocsin has been aouudcd, and the inhabi-
tants, with the Mayor at their Bead, have repaired to the scene
of the disaster. " re Commerce.

ALARMING CIRCUNISTA NCE.-011 Monday after-
noon considerable alarm was created in Charles-street, Hat-
ton-garden, in consequence of a heavy stack of chimnies falling
in with the roof at the house of Mr. Heinson, a beer-shop-
keeper, 21, in the above street, by which several persons who
were passing had a narrow escape. The inmates of that and
the adjoining houses ran out in great terror, expecting every
moment that they would have been buried in the ruins. In-
formation was immediately forwarded to the parish authori-
ties, and the house was propped up, and every precaution
taken to prevent further accident.
Townsliend is still going on with his undertaking to
walk sixty miles per day for ten successive days, and stand an
hour on one leg each night. He accomplished 400 miles at
half-past five yesterday afternoon, but was evidently very weak.
The rain on Sunday evening has much increased his cold, and
added considerably to the difficulty of the undertaking. Bet-
ting is 2 to 1 against the completion, and large sums are being
laid out on it.
