FRANCE.

A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels says
The first troops sent to Mexico will be taken from
Algeria, as has been mentioned, as they are already
inured to a hot climate. They will be directed, in
the first instance, to Martinique and Havana,
whence they will proceed to Vera Cruz, and be
placed undet the orders of the commandant of that
town, M. Roze. The authorities have adopted the
excellent idea of arming and organising, under the
orders of French naval officers, 500 negroes (a race
that never suffers from the yellow fever), to be
employed for the police of Vera Cruz. That
measure, however, is not new, as 400 had already
been similarly employed with great success."

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

The hopes which some zoologists perhaps rashly enter-
tained that the late arrival of a living specimen of the
Echidna hystro at the Zoological Gardens would have
enabled r.s to study the habits of the living animal for a
lengthened perbd, were cut short on Saturday, the Bth
instant, by tie death of the _Echidna after twenty
days' existence, in the Regent's Park. Through
the kindness of Mr. Bartlett, the superintendent
of the gardeas, we had an opportunity of inspect-
ing the specimen a few hours after death, and prior
to the detailed anatomical examination, which, we under-
stand, is to take place. The chief superficial characters
which attracted attention were the length and flexibility of
the tongue protruding several inches beyond the narrow
oral aperture ; the large size of the auditory holes ; the tex-
ture of the hairs and prickles, which are disposed in equable
series on each side of the dorsal suture, the setose structures
being undeveloped on the inferior half of the body, a char-
acter enabling the keeper to support the weight of the ani-
mal on the palm of his hand; and the uniform manner in
which the points of the prickles were directed posteriorly,
so as to enable 'he Echidna to pass through a narrow place,
and at the sane time, probably by the action of powerful
cutaneous nus3lcs, to permit the erection of the spines as
instruments of defence. The _Echidna does not possess the
power of rollin-; itself up in a ball like Es. inaceus or Div-
pus. On the same day which witnessed the demise of this
unhappy lyenccphale, parturition was effected by one of the
seals in the seal house, but the young one was produced
dead. The mother a few hours after was gaily swimming
belly upwards in the pond, apparently hi the enjoyment of
the most robust health. We are sorry to see that the birds
of paradise do not show us yet any sign of the further,de-
velopment of the beautiful lateral tufts characteristic of the
male sex, and that the generalisation which a distinguish°
men'ther of Parliament made a few days ago, that the ani•
coals in a living state in the Regent's-park were more use-
ful objects of poimlar instruction than those in Great Rus-
sel-street, is not applicable to paradise birds, echidna:, or
nionkeys.Me&cal Times and Gazette.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A TAVERN.—Fredelickßeazley,
a respectable-looking man, a clerk, out of employ, wa3
charged with attempting to commit suicide at the Marl-
borough Head Tavern, immediately opposite the police
court.

James Reeves, 41 C, said that on the previous afternoon,
about half. past four, as he was passing the Marlborough
Head Tavern he was called by Mr. Ellwood, the landlord,
who said a person in the house had taken poison. He
found the defendant in a state of stupor, and took him to
the Middlesex Hospital, where an emetic was administered,
and he was informed that he had taken an overdose of
laudanum.

Mr. John Ellwood, of the Marlborough Head, said he
was acquainted with the defendant, and he was a very
respectable man. The defendant came to his house th
previous afternoon and had something to drink, and asked
him to lend him a bottle. He did so, and the prisoner went
out and shortly after returned and asked a painter at work
at his house to have something to drink, and had something
himself. Shortly after, on his going to remove the glasses,
and seeing the empty bottle he had lent the prisoner or the
counter he smelt it, and found the bottle and one of the
glasses had contained laudanum. He (Mr. Ellwood) th en
sent for a doctor, and the defendant was afterwards taken
to the hospital.
In answer to the magistrate, Mr. Ellwood said he believed
the defendant bad done it owing to family matters. He
had written to the defendant's brother, and he had no doubt
he would attend to take care of him.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said if the brother attended the defendant,
who would be detained in the meahtime, should be given up
to him.

CARRIAGE ROBBERY: —Charles Collins, a middle-aged
man, and who there is little doubt has been at this court
before, was charged with stealing from the carriage of Mrs.
Eliza Willis, of 4. Hill-street, Berkeley-square, a shawl of
the value of £5.

Wm. Hall, footman to Mrs. Willis, said that on the pre-
vious afternoon he was with the carriage in Dover-street,
when he was informed that prisoner had taken a shawl
from the carriage. He pursued the prisoner, and in his
flight he threw the shawl down an area. He caught the
prisoner and brought him back, and then handed him over
to a constable (Jarvis, 156 C), who took him to the station.
George Cullen, in the service of Lord Stanley of Alder-
ley, proved seeing the prisoner take the shawl from the
carriage.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the request of Inspector Draper, re-
manded the Irisoner that inquiries might be made.

DI?URY LANE.

Mr. Boucicault last night produced his cele-
brated drama of " Colleen Bawn " at this theatre
with great effect, and with a cast of characters that
excited some curiosity. On this occasion Madame
Celeste made her re appearance, in London,as Mrs.
Cregan, and although the lady's French accent did
not assist her in the arduous task, her acting was
of the very highest class. Miss Sara Stevins sus-
tained the part of Eily O'Conner most effectively.....
a closer copy of the original in form of voice and
appearance could not have been found. Miss
Jessie M'Clean appeared as Ann Chute, but her
performance wanted a little more fire and anima-
tion to make it tell. Mr. F, Robinson supported
the part of Hardress Cregan in exoellent style, and
the same praise must be awarded to Mr. Vanden-
hoff for his Kyrle Daly, to Mr. Searle for Danny
Mann, and to Mr. Leeson for Father Tom.

The scenery, by Beverley, was very beautiful,
although, to our thinking, the celebrated water cave
was a little too dark.

At the close of the third act Mr. Boucicault re-
ceived the honour of a call, which he gallantly
divided with Miss Sara StevinF.
The house was crowded. The dress circle and
stalls presented a very brilliant appearance.

close the highest offer against the latter was 9to 2. Not-

finished at 8 to 1 (taken) ; and that price was readily taken

SPAIN AND MOROCCO.

The last instalment of the war indemnity due to
Spain from the Emperor of Morocco has been paid,
and the steam frigate Isabella 11. has brought the
amount to Alicante. The obligations of Morocco
having thus been fulfilled, orders have been sent
from Madrid to Rear-Admiral Piozon to proceed
with his squadron to Tetuan to take on board the
Spanish garrison, and convey it to Algesiras. The
evacuation of Tetuan will be effected during the
month of May.

FIRE AT THE STANDARD THEATRE.—On ►Saturday
night, about half-past eight o'clock, when the third act of
Shakespeare's "Tempest" was being played at the Standard
Theatre, a cry was suddenly raised that the building was
on fire. Such an announcement among a crowded audience
of course caused great excitement, and every person in the
theatre immediately rose from their seats and rushed to the
doors. The majority of them had managed to get out when
the fire, which was confined to the back part of the pit, and
had been caused by a lamp, was fortunately extinguished.
Tho majority of the audience resumed their seats, and
shortly after the performance was resumed.
A MOTHER CURSING HER DAUGHTER. —A
mother and daughter, residing in Selkirk, had for some
time been living on terms far from agreeable, and, in order
to save herself from future annoyance, the girl left the
house, and betook herself to lodgings. The old woman, a
rigid Catholic, was highly indignant at this exercise of free-
will on the part of h daughter, and, after several ineffec-
tual efforts to bring her back to the parental home, she de-
termined on renouncing her child for ever. A few days
ago she accordingly presented herself in front of the house
in which the girl had taken up her abode, uncovered her

ANECDOTE OF SIR ROBERT PEEL in 1848.
" The writer of these pages was sitting by the side of the
late Mr. Hume when the tidings reached their bench. Sir
Robert Peel was on the opposite front seat, alone, his
powerful party having been broken and scattered by his
great measure of Corn Law Repeal. ' I'll go and tell Sir
Robert the news,' exclaimed Mr. Hume, and stepping across
the floor, he seated himself by his side and communicated
the startling intelligence. On returning to his place, he
repeated, in the following words, the commentary of the
ex-Minister This comes of trying to carry on a Govern-
ment by means of a mere majority of a chamber, without
regard to the opinion out of doors. It is what these people
(pointing with his thumb over his shoulder to the protec-
tionists behind him) wished me to do, but I refused."—
Mr. Cobden's new pamphlet on "The Three Crises."
HORSE POISONING.---A strange case of horse
poisoning has been investigated by the magistrates sitting
in petty sessions at Driffield. A Norfolk man named Robt.
Foker, who had been engaged as waggoner to ➢ir. Richard
Hornby, farmer, of Driffield \Vold, appears to have been
influenced by a dangerous mania—too common amongst
the agricultural labourers of some districts—for forcing the
condition of horses placed under his charge. One result of
his efforts in this direction was the sudden death a few days
ago of two of his master's horses, and the narrow escape
of a third, while engaged in their ordinary work in the
field. The prisoner was suspected of poisoning the animals,
and he was taken into custody. The evidence against him
clearly established the fact that he had been in the regular
habit of mixing arsenic with the food of the horses, and
had thus caused the death of two of them ; but it also at
the same time left no doubt that the deluded man had no
malicious object, his intention having been simply, as he
had expressed himself to another labourer, to " lig" some
flesh on. This infatuation lost to Mr. Hornby £6O, the
value of the deceased animals, and the magistrates inflicted
upon Foker three months' imprisonment.—Birmingham

FORTIFICATIONS IN PLYMOUTH SOUND.
Mr. BENTINCK asked the Secretary of State for War
whether it was true that an artificial island was being con-
structed in Plymouth Sound, by sinking stones, for
building on it a fort similar to those which are under con-
struction at ithead.

Sir G. LEWIS said that it was intended to construct a
fort behind the breakwater at Plymouth, and that the plan
adopted was in accordance with the recommendations of the
Defence Committee.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION AND THE

MEETING OF THE HOUSE.

In reply to Mr. SOTHERN ESTCOURT, and subsequently
to Major EDWARDS,

Sir G. GREY said that it was proposed by the Govern-
ment that the house should meet on Thursday
next, the day of the opening of the Exhibition.
If the Exhibition were oponed at 1 o'clock, the
house could assemble at 5 o'clock, but the course
which would be ultimately adopted would be stated on
Wednesday next. As regarded the committees, he did not
think that they would meet on Thursday, considering that
hon. members would feel a desire to be present at the open-
ing of the Exhibition.

CUSTOMS INLAND REVENUE BILL.

On the order of the day for the second reading of this

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
understood the right hon. gentleman the member for Bucks
(Mr. Disraeli) was under the impression that the bill would
not be proceeded with this evening, and that being the case
the Government were not desirous of proceeding with the
second reading that evening.

Sir S. NORTHCOTE said that his right hon. friend
the member for Bucks did not intend to oppose the bill,
but he certainly was under the impression that it
would not be brought forward this evening. His right
hon. friend intended to make some observations on the
financial positionof the country on the second reading of the
bill, and in reference to the remarks recently made at Man-
chester by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Laughter.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
under the circumstances he would postpone the second
reading of the bill.
London, England, 1862-04-29

The toast was drunk with great cordiality.

Earl GRANVILLE returned thanks. He said that
although the loss of his Royal Highness the Prince
Consort had somewhat diminished their interest,
and damped their pleasure, yet they felt it to be a
sacred duty to work with all the more activity, in
order to secure the success of that undertaking
which the Prince Consort considered necessary to
bring to perfection his first great work—the concep •
tion of his own mind—in which he was aided by the
distinguished persons who surrounded him—and to
make a real success of what his late Royal High-
ness was pleased to call a mere temporary triumph
of the time, (Cheers.) They had little more to do
than apply those precedents and those rules which
had been the subject of so mu3h consideration at the
time, and in a few cases only, where altered circum-
stances had required it, had those rules been at all
modified. This, however, had been done in cases
where there was a great contrast between the cir-
cumstances of 1851 and of 1862. On both occasions
they had experienced the greatest kindness and
encouragement from the municipal authorities of
the city of London. (Cheers.) The Lord Mayor had
given them a splendid banquet, to convey to the
distinguished foreigners in attendance an idea of
the cordiality of the feelings which the English'
people entertained towards them. In 1851 the idea
was no new that there was hardly any sort of panic
and alarm which did not exist as to the conse-
quences of the Exhibition. (Hear.) There was a
strong feeling of opposition at the movement,
although a reaction of equal strength set in at the
moment it was opened. (Hear.) There was no
opposition now—there were no breathers of ill-
nature or of ill-will—they had encountered criti-
cism, but not more than was necessary to keep
them up to the mark—in fact it was a criticism
without which no possible enterprise of the slightest
importance had a chance of-succeeding. (Hear.)
First there was a feeling—in which many large
producers joined, and of which ho could not com-
plain, for he felt it himself—that this second attempt
was being made too soon. But what had taken
place was the best answer to that objection. The
desire of exhibitors was such that while the present
building was one-third larger than the building of
1851, they had been obliged to reject six-sevenths
of the articles tendered for exhibition, and yet he
really believed that the chief fault which would be
found with what they had done was that the edifice
was too crowded—not crowded with rubbish, as
they would be ready to admit when they had seen
it—bat with articles which would form a very fa-
vourable contrast to any previous exhibition. When
they commenced their task the commissioners were
in a state of complete pauperism. (Laughter.)
Although one of their number, Mr. Baring, was
not without great credit in the City, yet the Bank
of England at first declined to advance them £2OO
