advert to the subject to implore her Majesty's Ministers
not to disgrace her virgin reign by consigning females to
the gallows for a crime which, however revolting to our
feelings, must be considered as one which inflicts the least
injury on others and on society—a crime, too, which in the
much prized days of antiquity was a common practice, and
is yet in some countries not classed as a punishable offence.

The Paris Journals of Monday are as destitute of in-
teresting intelligence as those of the whole of the preceding
week. A letter from Lucerne, inserted in the Journal des
Debals, announces that the Swiss Vorort will unanimously
reject the demand of France for the expulsion of Prince
Louis NAPOLEON, but that after the Vorort has as-
serted its independence, the Prince will, of his own ac-
cord, withdraw himself from the Republic rather than be
the instrument of involving it in a quarrel with France.
The Dcbats is inclined to regard such a termination of the
affair as perfectly satisfactory—a conclusion to which no
statesman with a delicate sense of national honour can

arrive. •
The electors of Douai gave a public dinner on Satin,
day to M. ODILLON BARROT. The Hon. Deputy's health
being proposed M. HURE, the President, addressed him in
words to the following effect :
‘‘ You have combatted the September laws, those laws a hundred
times more fatal to freedom than ever were the ordinances of July.
These laws were passed under the pretext of giving strength to the Go-
vernment in a time of anarchy and disorder. But fortune has led you
here to observe the most deplorable use that could be made of such laws.
They have been here put in activity at a moment not of disorder, but of
tranquillity, say, almost of political slumber; and not only these laws,
but the most liberticide decrees of the empire and the restoration, have
been resuscitated here to crush the Press. The conduct of the Govern-
ment has need of being denounced from the national tribune, and to
you the Liberals of Douai commit this task."
When it is recollected that this language was employed
at a public dinner in France, the strong feeling of opposi-
tion which the conduct has excited will be readily ima-
gined. For the speech of the Hon. Deputy we have not
space in the present crowded state of our columns, but it
was well calculated to raise a storm against the policy of the
KING and his Cabinet.
The only news received from Spain wi►l be found in the
subjoined extracts from the journals :
The accounts from the Royal head-quarters in Spain are of the Gth.
No change has taken place in the situation of the armies before Estella.
The Christino General Alaix had left Pampcluna with some troops
and artillery to enter the Carrascal.
As for the affair of Arragon, the letters from Saragossa of the 4th
add no information to what has already been received.
The Christinos are bringing up artillery to Morella, but the attack on
that place has not yet commenced.
LOGRONO, Juts 30.—Independently of the resistance which the
rebels will make to the Constitutionalists in Estella itself, there are on
the adjacent heights five redoubts which must be successively attacked
before reaching Estella; the ground for a league and a half is much
broken, and favourable to the kind of warfare carried on by the rebels.
It will likewise be necessary to throw a bridge over a river, and it will
cost more than one combat to reach the summit of Mount lurra, where
Marota intends to post himself; but the bravery of our soldiers will
overcome all these obstacles. If General Espartero were to resign at
this moment it would be a real calamity for the country.—Eco del Co-

'nerd°.
VIENNA, Aun. 4.—Their Imperial Majesties and his Imperial High-
ness the Archduke Francis Charles and suite, left Schonbrunn this morn-
ing for Italy. Prince Metternich will leave on the Sth to follow the
Court to Inspruck.
M. Muhlendorff, the North American Minister, has paid his first
visit to Prince Metternich, but will not have his formal audience until
the return of the Court.
We expect shortly the publication of an Imperial resolution, by which
the disbanding of another division of the battalion of the Landwchr is
ordered; consequently only one division of the Landwehr will remain
on service with every German regiment. - A second resolution, of great
importance, has just been taken; it is to provide the whole Austrian
army with percussion guns ; hitherto only some divisions have had
such arms.
The troops that are ordered for the reviews during the visit of the
Russian Grand Duke, are not to be encamped, but to be quartered in the
neighbourhood of Vienna.

THE « SOULT AND WELLINGTON

SUN."

We have received an extraordinary edition of The Sun
of the 6th inst., containing two beautifully executed por-
traits—the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult. The
engraving does the highest credit to the artist ; and in
France, where it cannot fail to have an extensive circula-
tion, will represent favourably the progress of the arts in
this country, In addition to the memoirs of the heroes,
this number of The Sun contains a spirited ode to genius
from the pen of the talented editor, Murdo Young, Esq.—
Morning Register.
The Coronation San and the Double Sun, containing the
medallions of Soult and Wellington, at this moment adorn
our table. We shall treasure them as specimens of the
taste and enterprise of the editor and proprietor of the first
British journal that taught by example how to disseminate
intelligence rapidly. We trust Mr. Young may reap a
golden harvest, ripened in the beams of his own Golden
Sun.—Glasgow Argus.
We received a copy of The Sun newspaper containing
medallion engravings of portraits of the Duke of Welling-
ton and Marshal Soult. They are exquisite specimens of
art, and reflect the highest credit both on the ability of the
artist and the literality of Mr. Young, the proprietor of the
paper.—Brighton Patriot.
We have to acknowledge the receipt of a double No. of
The Sun, containing two medallions of those celebrated
warriors, Soult and Wellington, engraved on steel, and
beautifully printed. The likenesses appear to be perfect ;
and their effect is striking and admirable. A re-issue has
also taken place of the " Golden Sun:" which is printed in
the precious metal ; and embellished with a medallion, in a
novel and beautiful style, of our gracious Queen. In these
several publications party politics have been wisely eschewed,
and we anticipate a wide circulation for such rare ayes in
the achievements of the newspaper press of our country.—
Bath Gazette.
We have received a number of this celebrated and na-
tional memorial of our fair young Sovereign's Coronation,
which we observe has reached the 24th edition ; a de-
viand unprecedented in newspaper annals, and which we
trust has fully remunerated the proprietors for the first
great expense they incurred in their spirited and most
praiseworthy undertaking. With the " Golden Sun" we
have also received the publication of that Journal of the
sth of August, with two beautifully executed medallion
portraits of the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult, in
juxta-position. We shall treasure up this testimonial of
loyalty to our Queen, and " honour to the brave" as all
faithful subjects ought to do, with reverence and care ; and
we recommend our readers who are not already provided,
to lose no time in procuring them.—Western Luminary.

Whitechapel-road, died at the London Hospital from the effects of a
fractured skull, which she sustained on the 25th of July, since which
