supposing that Louts PHILIPPE has any intention of sanc-
tioning a change in his political relations with Spain. He
lust as fearful now as be was in 1832 of taking any step

Ilely to give offence to the Great Northern Powers.

NEWS FROM THE FRONTIER.
BAYONNE, 23d MARCH.-It was on the 15th March, that
the Carlist expedition passed the Ebro, at Soucillo, not far
from Reynosa; this column by a rapid march, receded from the
valley of Mina, where it would have found the Chtistinos in
force, and will probably advance into the Asturias, leaving
Slntarder on the right. It is composed of 10 battalions,
(some say 18) all Castillians, and 3 squadrons, with 4 mountain
guns. It is commanded by Count Negre, an officer of the
household of Don Carlos. The composition of the troops is
bad. It is probable, that the expedition will not descend into
tie pl dns of Old Castile, where the columns of Latre and Bo-
nellas might destroy it. If, as is possible, it is not well received
in the Asturias, it will penetrate into Gallicia. There is not
a single considerable force to oppose it from Eeynosi,
which it must have passed some days ago, to the interior of
Gallicia. There is no reason to apprehend that it will esta-
blish itself either in the Asturias or Gallicia, but it will levy
contributions, massacre the young men, and hinder the levies
now making for the Queen's Government. If Basilio is not
destroyed, as it is hoped, it would not be impossible that the
two expeditions should unite, for distance is a slight obstacle
to the Carlists and the Spaniards in general, who make incre-
dible marches for days together.

obtained four millions for the Princess of Beira, half of which
has been paid out of the Privy Purse of the Emperor. M.
Metternich is for peace, and has declared that he vvill resign if

CHURCH ENDOWMENT SCHEME.-It appears
chat, while the more violent partizans of the Scotch Eg,a-
bliThed Church are importuning the Government for large
additional endowments from the public treasury, the Scotch
landed proprietors arc snugly pocketing 150,000/. per annum,
originally designed to meet the contingent wants of their
Cirireh ; and that, until this enormous sum he exhausted, the
Scotch Established Clergy can have no decent pretext for
d-manding to be permitted to finger a single additional frac-
tion of the national taxes.—Carlisle Patriot.

TILE GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHlP.—Yester-
day morning an excursion was taken down the River, from
B ackwall to about three miles below Gravesend, in this
srlendid vessel, for the purpose of trying her machinery, in
the presence of a company of about eighty gentlemen, among
whom were Major Handley, M.P., P. W. Miles, Esq., M.P.,
G. F. Young, Esq., Captains Austin, Oliver, Lock, and Bul-
lock, Oliver Lang, Esq., of Woolwich Dock-yard, and many
other scientific gentlemen. Lord Wharncliffe, the Hon. J. S.
Wortley, Lady Georgiana Wortley and daughter, were also
among the visitors. The vessel left Blackwell about twelve
o'clock, but from the state of the tide she grounded shortly
afterwards, and was detained a considerable time, until the
rse o 7 the tide enabled her to proceed. The average speed
IVAS about eleven miles an hour, and the usual vibration expe-
rienced in steam-ships was scarcely perceptible, and owing to
an improvement in the paddle-wheels, the swell arising from
her passage through the water was so far diminished as not to
he attended with the .least inconvenience or danger to boats
in the River. We have already given the dimensions of this
magnificent vessel. Messrs. Maudsley and Field provided a
cold collation for the visitors. •
SIR JAMBS GRAHAM AGAIN !—The sympathy
between the rejected of _Cumberland and the rejected of
Roxbureshire, is exhibited in e somewhat amusing coincidence
by the Baronet, who has just got in through the kindness of
another, whom he is bound to serve, presenting a petition that
'Amick may be henceforth disfranchised, or at least the poll-
ing-place removed from its hGundaries, because, forsooth, the
men of ilawick would not elect his friend sir. Scott.—Ber-
wick Advertiser.

gentleman upon the affliction of his wetting a seat ; for the

VOLUNTARY DEATITS.—III a recent article on
this subject, published by a Paris paper, Le Droit, it is stated
that Inn less than 9,040 suicides have been committed in
France from the year 1820 to 1831 inclusively. The annual
average is therefore 1,808. The first of these years gave 1,542
cases of this so -t ; the last 2.084. If we divide the annual
average (1,808) by the number of provinces (26) we shall
have 21 foe each province, or 1 in a population of 17,833.
Dining the five years referred to above 5,987 suicides have
been committed in the 32 northern departments, whilst in the
51 sotuhefn rtepartmetit4 there have been in the same period
eely 3,053, making the average in the north 1,197, and in
the south only 610. This extraordinary difference is mainly
referrable to the condition of either populalion. Where the
means of existence are scanty and precarious the prevalence of
voluntary- death it round to be more frequent and strongly
marked than in provinces where labour has its meet reward.
DR. MARSHNIAN.—A communication has been
received from Serampore announcing the decease of the last

was favoured with the richest consolations of the Gospel ; and
in the forenoon of Tuesday, December 5, 1837, after solemnly
committing. himself, his family, and the mission, into the

He was buried the following afternoon. Two days after Dr.

Serampore mission and the Baptist Missionary Society.

Yesterday tilotrittig t boy, ttuotit si teeii yet rg Of
hge, one of the apprentices on board the George Canning, had
occasion to go down the hold, and the ladder not being suffi-
cient secured at the hayliWayi swerved, and precipitated him
to the bottohi Of the vessel. ;IS the bafqtie hid tV7i cargo on
board, the poor boy fell about twenty-two feet. A surgeerl
was immediately sent for, who bled him, and went away, con-
sidering him out of danger, but in a snort time afterwards lie
got worse,and before the surgeon, who was again sent for, had
arrived, he was dead. The deceased was respectably connected.
Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a
gentleman named Mander, residing in Suffolk-place, Haymar-
ket, was crossing from Trafalgar-square to Spring-gardens,
when he was knocked down by one of the Chelsea omnibuses,
and the fore and hind wheels on the off side passed over his
right ankle, crushing the bone in a most shocking manner.
Mr. :Mender was removed to his own residence. The driver
of the omnibus was detained.
THE ACTIVE.—The conduct of the country
is not in fninrep
on the occasion of the Active striking on ileinshark bar was
excellent, and obtained praise from all persons, who ascribe it
mainly to the late salvage trials in this city. The ruinous
custom of claiming salvage without the ,oerformance of service
has been abandoned on this occasion, and. people
to be revived.— Wateifird Chronicle.
