door of the prosecutor and run away with it. The Jury re-
turned a verdict of Guilty.

in getting possession of the money charged in the indictment.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.

GAMBLING AND SELF-MURDER.-011 Monday
evening an inquest was held at the sign of the Cherry Tree, Bromley,
Middlesex, before Mr. Baker, the coroner, on view of the body of
George Taylor, aged 21 years. From the evidence, it appeared that the
deceased, who had been an industrious young man, went to Fairlop
Fair on Friday laNt, and having seen several persons, strangers as he
believed, nut who were merely confederates of the party, win sutras
his mind to " fry his luck." He at first staked all the
made
money ss. to 54 from then "thimble rig" men, he unfortunately
money he had about him, which was seven shillings and sixpence,
and having lost that, he next played his watch against ten shillings,
which he also lost ; and these being gone he staked his coat, and
afterwards his waistcoat against small sums, and, as may be anticipated,
all fell into the hands of the sharpers. Bereft of his money,
watch, and clothes, he wandered about, for some time, and
ashamed, no doubt, to return homq.he was seen by a boy at about eight I

the body was not found until the following morning
The Coroner, at
the conclusion of the evidence, and while summing it up,
remarked that
the tact of the deceased having ganibled away his clothes as well as his
watch and money was, in his estimation, sufficient proof of his insanity.
The jury thought so too. and returned a verdict of" Temporary In-
sanity." The father of the deceased, who appeared overwhelmed with
affiiet ion, expressed a hope that the circumstances attendant on the death
of his unfortunate son might obtain publicity, that they !
might prove an
example and caution to others to avoid gambling, I I

Cor,ooN-, 2B.—The ColoTme Journrl of she 27',1) has Ole fol.-

lowing art is
" The news published in several journals, that the Apostolic See has
taken a conciliatory resolution in the affair •of the Archbishop, is really
confirmed. We learn from an authentic source that the Apostolic
Breve has come to the Chapter of this city, with the approbation of the
Government, and that its contents are so satisfactory, with regard to the
administration of the diocese, as on account of the conciliatory spirit
towards the Chapter, which prevails in it, that there can be no objection
to the publication of it, which will doubtless take place when the legal
formalities are fulfilled.
BRODY (AUSTRIAN GALLIC/A), JUNE 20.—FOREIGN EQUESTRIANISM
EXTRAORDINARY.—I/ is a pity that the members of your Jockey Club
were not present at the great fair of Berdytchew, in Volhynia, which
commenced on the 12th of June, and is not yet over. Figure to your-
self 25,000 wild horses, brought thither by Tartars, Kalmucks, Gabar-
diens, and Cossacks; as many more trained horsei, and every day,
morning and evening, eight or ten races between Asiatic and European
horsemen.
OR the 14th the Tartar Ali defied the Pole Abramowitch. The
course was six French miles, and the prize was to be the possession of
two race-horses and a sum of 10,000 francs. The Pole won ; his horse
cleared the distance in 27 minutes. The Tartar's horse fell when it had
reached about midway.
On the 25th twenty-five Circassian, Cossack, Polish, Russian, and
Tartar horsemen started from the post at the same time, and cleared a
space of two leagues in about eight or nine minutes. Nothing could be
more picturesque than the variegated colours of the costumes of the
riders, the fiery Eastern steeds, whose silky manes were wafted by the
wind, and a crowd cf ladies in carriages encouraging the runners as
they passed. The Captain of the Cossacks of the Don, Jelovejeki,
arrived first, and won the prize, which was valued at 20,000 francs.
The equipages of his Majesty the Ring of the Belgians have arrived
at the Tuilleries. The Attorney-General in the Royal Tribunal of
Paris, has just written to the King's Attorney to point out to him that
for some time past the journals, in contempt of the enactment of
Art. 10 of the Law of Sept 9, 1835, gives an account generally in an
inaccurate manner of the internal deliberations in the Courts and Tri.
bunals, and to recommend to him to institute legal proceedings in case
this infraction of the Law should be repeated.
A letter from Malta, of June 27, says :
" The Alegara English steam-boat, from Dierout, and last from
Alexandria, which it left six days ago, states that at its departure from
the latter port it was everywhere reported that the Viceroy had just
proclaimed his complete independence.
" Mehemet Ali positively refuses to pay any kind of tribute to the
Porte. Great events were expected; in Let, if this news should be
confirmed, war between Turkey and France is inevitable, and both
powers have lately been making formidable preparations. It is probable
that the great. European powers reay interfere, and we already hear of
the departure of the E. cruel squadron, under Admiral Gallois, for the
coast of Syria. We do not, however, know anything certain on the
subject.
" It is at present impossible to foresee the consequences of the reso-
lutions taken by Mehemet Ali ; we look with the greatest impatience
for the next arrival from Alexandria."—Constitutionnel

POSEN, JUNE 26.—General Von Orollman, commanding the corps of
the army in this province, accompanied by severtl officers of different
ranks, set out for Warsaw, having been invited by the Emperor
Nicholas to be present at the Grand Review which is shortly to take
place near that city. The Emperor will probably arrive there to-day,
and after stopping rive or six days go to Silesia to join the Empress,
and then visit our King at Toplitz.
A letter from Warsaw of the 22d ult. states that General Schypoff,
Director of Public Instruction in Poland, has recently published an
ordinance, containing the tollowing articles :--1. In :ill parishes where
schools are established there sltallbe a Professor of the Russian language,
appointed by Government. 2. The children of the inhabitants, of what.
ever rank shall attend these schools to learn the Russian language. 3.
Every child who refuses to learn the Russian language shall be punished
in the usual manner, and his parents fined fifty rubles for the first
ofrence, 100 rubles for the second, and 300 rubles for the third ;
but the fourth time they and theit children shall be 'held guilty cf a
breach of the orders of the authorities. 4. No person shell be
allowed to have a private tutor in his family who is not fUrnished
with a certificate that he is perfect master of the Russian language,
and every child who is privately taught shall be brought once a
month before the Russian professor of the parish to be examined in
the language. 5. No person can fill a situation, civil or military,
until ho proves that he can gam]: the Russian language,
I.llscintansv, JUNE L—llaron de Rucktoan is setting off, but, to
the astonishment and consternation of all, he has preceded his journey
by a threatening letter, addressed to the hospodar, and in which be
ennouneee the arrival of M. Aristarchi, bearer of a finnan cf the
Sultan, which authorises the hospodar to punish the chiefs of the
opposition, and to compel the admission of the articles which Russia de-
mands to have inserted its the regulation. What profound and inexpli-
cable Maeldavelism The Sultan urged by Russia to destroy the little in-
fluence be retains in Wallachia I—The hospodar compelled to work for
the establishment of Russian controut over his own administrative acts,
and, in consequence, to reduce himself as to the character of a mere pup_
pet!—A representative assembly becoming a mere shadow, its members
deprived of the right to vole or reject an administrative act !—All these
intrigues, and all this turpitude of Russian policy, becomes more inex-
plicable when one throws a MA Oh the spirit of the present Tut kish po_
Hey.
,The nomination of Nosrew Pacha to the presidency of the supe-
rior council must be regarded as entirely hostile to Russia, whose de.
claret' enemy he is. How happens it that, at the moment when all the
creatures of Russia are persecuted, Aristarchi, the first instrument of
Russia, is charged with a diplomatic mission in Wallachia? It woad
be difliceit to find a solution to this strange. problem. Be it as it may,
the attitude of the members of the General Assemb , with the excep.
tion of some vile spirits, is realty admirable. . ire have right, and
nobly comprehended the mission they arc called up n to fulfil; and
firmly resolved never to sanction the attemPt of 'Russia upon their
I.berties. The Colossus of the North has already thrown into the
balance of Wallachian rights his sceptre of iron—that heavy
sceptre which has already crushed the future hopes of so many nations;
but he has not appreciated the power which exis:s in the energy of a na-
tion strong in its rights, and which will iriaft.;'the greatest sacrifices to
defend them. The members of the nations t representation know that
they are about to appear befuse the tribunal o. European opinion, of that
great family from which they would violently snatch them; they know
that posterity will demand of them an exact account of the confidence
which the nation has reposed in them; they will do their duty, and if
Russia has recourse to the only support of her iniquitous Pretensions—
forcee—they will tear their charter, and say, as did that French monarch
of chivalrous memory, " All is lost except our honour."
" Letters from Georgia state that the Circassians have again com-
menced hostilities ; and that a troop of SOO horse have beaten the Cos-
sacks of the line, within view of the tot tof Vladscaucaze. This troop,
after having crossed the Terek, laid waste 15 villages. Lieutenant.
General Golotvine has left Teflis at the head of 6,000 men, but the Cir.
cassians loaded with booty, retreated into the mountains. General
Patsoivski, Commandant of the Khanat of Erivan, who was with the
Schuh, has been obliged to return to Erivan, the Karah.Papahs and
Kurds having revolted against Russia."
FRANKFORT, JUNE 27.—Preparations are making at Johannisberg
for the reception of visitors and their attendants ; even the smallest
rooms are got ready, from which circumstance it may be presumed
that the Prince expects numerous guests. Every thing is ordered to
be ready by the 15th July. The operations on the Taurans iron. rail.
road are now commenced likewise at ,the station of Flutters's= from
Hochst to Mainz. The Committee intends to prosecute the work
with diligence.

VIENNA, JUNE 26.—1 t is now resolved that the Empress-mother,
instead of going to Toplitz, will go to Tegernsee and Kreath, there to be-
coMe acquainted with the Empress of Russia, who is expected at the
latter place. The Russian Counsellor of State, Von Struve, is
appointed First Counsellor of Legation here, instead of Prince
Gortschakoff, who has left; he has already entered on the exercise of his
functions. The Dutch Ambassador gives to-day, in honour of the
young Prince of Orange, a grand dinner, at which Prince Metternich
will be present. The Archduchess Palatine of Ofen is preparing to
return to Ofen. I hear that it is now arranged that the examination of
the passports and levying of the duties of passengers and goods comity
by the steam-boats from Ratisbon, shall not take place till they arrive a
Linz, which will be a great convenience to travellers.
