HUDDERSFIELD.

This committee resumed this day at eleven o'clock—the
Right Hon. Spencer Walpole, chairman.
The counsel for the sitting members having objected
that, in all the alleged cases of treating, there had been
no evidence to show that it had been practised by the
agents of the sitting members,
Mr. Edwin James proceeded to argue that Mr.
Turner was decidedly an agent, inasmuch as he had
received money to expend for the purposes of the elec-
tion, and that he was certainly officially connected with
Mr. Stansfield's committee. The learned counsel had
not concluded his argument when our report left.

SHERIFFS COURT-(THIS DAY).

IVE V. COURTLAND.-AN ACTION FOR COSTS,

This was an action continued for costs in this case.

Defendant pleaded non•liability.
Mr. Towne, plaintiff :t solicitor, stated the case, from
which it appeared that defendant, who is the captain of
a vessel, purchased a chronometer for 20t., for which
Mr. Greenhow, a merchant in the City (and owner
of the vessel of which defendant was master),
gave his guarantee. The amount not having been
paid, an action was brought against Mr. Courtland
on his guarantee, and also against defendant. Mr.
Courtland paid the 201. and the costs of the writ against
himself, but refused to pay the other costs. The action
was therefore continued for the costs.

Mr. Needham, for the defence called defendant, who
proved that he had previously hired the chronometer of
Charles George lye, plaintiffs son, and paid him, but he
could not now be found. He knew nothing of plaintiff.
Mr. Greenhow stated that he knew Charles George
lye, who had been master of a vessel, and supposed
he was dealing with him, but he paid the, amount on a
writ issued by plaintiff, William lye. He did not notice
it at the time, as the guarantee was given to " Mr." lye.
Witness stopped the money from defendant's wages to
meet the guarantee.
Mr. Needham addressed the jury, and commented on
the injustice of the whole proceeding, and urged that
the doubled action was brought solely for costs.
The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict for
defendant for is. damages and costs as to be taxed.

SOUTHIVARK.-(THIS .DAY.)

DARING ROBBERY AT THE SURREY THEATRE.

John Herring, a notorious young thief, was brought
before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing a valuable
silver watch from the person of Christopher Wright in
the Surrey Theatre.
Prosecutor deposed that, a little after six o'clock last
evening, he went to the Surrey Theatre for the purpose
of witnessing the performances. As he was passing up
the gallery stairs among a great number of people, he
felt a sudden jerk at his waistcoat pocket, and im-
mediately missed his watch. The prisoner was
just in front of him, and attempted to force his
way through the crowd, but witness, securing
his watch in his hand, laid hold of him, and saw him
drop it on the stairs. A constable was then called in,
and he was given into custody. He valued the watch
at five pounds.

George Watmough, 105 L, said he was on duty last
night at the doors of the Surrey Theatre, when his at-
tention was called to a disturbance on the gallery stairs.
He immediately proceeded there, and saw the prosecutor
and the prisoner struggling together. The latter was
given into his custody, and witness picked up the watch
from the stairs.

The prisoner, who declined making any defence, was
fully committed for trial.

ATHEN2EUM INSTITUTE.

A meeting of gentlemen connected with literature and
journalism was held on Saturday afternoon, in the
rooms of the Athenaeum Insurance Company, in Sack-
ville-street, for the purpose of a conversational discussion
on the features and the merits of the newly-started
Athenaeum Institute. From what fell from Mr. Rich-
mond, of the Atheneum Insurance Company, who
took the chair ; from Mr. Tomlins, the secretary
of the Institute ; Mr. Lewis, Mr. Thornton Hunt, Mr.
Bayle Bernard, Mr. Stirling Coyne, and several other
gentlemen connected with the project, it appeared that
the Institute had been actually legally established under
the Benefit Societies Act, its rules and calculations drawn
up by eminent actuaries, and duly sanctioned, after a
careful examination, by Mr. Tidd Pratt, and that it had
practically—and already with some success—com-
menced its operations. The object of the Institute
appears to be, to unite in the benefit society, backed
by the insurance principle, a numerous body of lite-
rary men—using the phrase in a liberal sense—not at
all confined to distressed geniuses, but, on the con-
trary, extending over all the great class of literary
workers of the day, whatever their departments. The
annual subscription necessary to memberhood is only
one guinea per annum ; but it is expected that every
member shall insure his life—the assurance rendered
perfectly safe by a cross contract with the parent life in-
company,
iumr
tn
s
are offered to insurers, one of which is the indisputability
c allowede com pa
tnoy 13, efnoerfi ta nsyo clue tmi e su.
of the premium, and the favourable yet sound terms on
tPeculiaro advantages
are 1001.—the le ga l
which the rates are calculated. Members wishing to in-
sure higher than 1001. may do so at the same ratio of
premium through the Institute with the company. The
guinea annual subscription will go to form a fund for the
payment of the ordinary expenses of the Institute, and
from the surplus, after these are defrayed, for the relief
—according to the discretion of the managing committee
—of cases of distress ; and, as a primary object in such
cases, for the keeping up of the premium on the distressed
member's insurance. It ought to be mentioned that in no
true sense will there be any eleemosynary assistance de-
manded by the Institute. The arrangement is that the mo-
ney of the honorary subscribers—including at present
Lord Goderich, Mr. Scholefield, M.P. ; Mr. A. Pellatt,
M. P. ; Mr. Edward Miall, M.P., be treated
as premiums on the lives of these gentlemen respectively,
so that at their demise the amount of the policies will
accrue to the society. Among the non-participating
members and honorary donors who have already come
forward in aid of the funds, are Lord Justice Knight
Bruce, Sir Francis Baring, Mr. B. SDisraeli, and Sir
George Staunton, while co-operation has been pro-
mised by many more distinguished personages, literary
and political. Such, then, are the main features of the
salho gaina livienng of
by genius,
penius,
" Athenaeum Institute for Authors and Men of Science."
It will be seen that the project is one of a substantially
self-supporting nature, and which is calculated to be
less useful t
than as a working institution, established for the benefit
of thegeneraol isolated

usual monthly mails for Lisbon, Madeira, Teneriffe, St.
Vincent's, Cape Verde, Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de
Janeiro, Monte Video,
and Buenos Apes,' in charge of
Lieutenant La Touche, R.N., Admiralty agent. She
took out 43 passengers, specie value 8,0001., and 300
tens of valuable cargo on freight. The Teviot, Captain
G. H. Onslow, with the next homeward mails from the
River Plate and Brazil, will be
due at Southampton on
the 16th instant. The Magdalena is appointed to take
out the next West India and Pacific mails on the 17th
instant, and the Parana will be due on the 16th instant
with the homeward mails from the same quarter. The
Thames, which arrived on Sunday from the West Indies,
proceeded to London yesterday to undergo a thorough
repair. The United States mail steamer Washington,
with dates from New York to the 26th ultimo, is ex-
pected off Cowes on Friday or Saturday next, on her way
to Bremen, but in consequence of the frost not having
yet broken up in the North Sea ports, it is expected the
Washington will be unable to continue her voyage, and
that she will remain at Southampton till the river Weser
is navigable. The Franklin is appointed to leave Havre
and to touch off Cowes on Wednesday, the 16th instant,
for New York, with the usual semi-weekly American
mails. The steam-ship City of London is hourlylexpected
at Southampton from Constantinople and the Mediter-
ranean. The Spanish steamer Princesa de Asturias
arrived here this morning from Santander on her way to
liamburgh, bringing six passengers, and on freight 400
fanegas of wheat and 396 barrels of Spanish beef. The
General Screw Steam-shipping Company's steamer Lady
Jocelyn, Captain Stewart, will leave this port on the
I6th instant for India via the Cape, touching Ply-
mouth on the 15th for the mails.

THE FATAL LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION NEAR MANCHES-
TER.—An inquest was opened yesterday morning at the
Waggon and llorse, Longsight, near Manchester, by
Mr. W. S. Rutter, coroner for the hundred of Salford,
on view of the bodies of Thomas Gresty, engine fitter,
of Gorton ; James Snowden, of Manchester • William
Black, Gorton-brook ; and James More, boilermaker's
assistants, the persons killed by the explosion of the
locomotive engine, No. 1, at the Polygon shed, at Long-
sight, of the London and North-Western Railway Com-
pany. The particulars of this dreadful occurrence were
given Yesterday. The inquiry was adjourned.

AUSTRALIAN CORDILLERA GOLD MINING

ASSOCIATION.

On Monday the ship Tory, chartered by the directors
of this company for their exclusive use, left the London
Docks en route for Australia. The preparations for
"the diggings" were on a scale of unprecedented mag-
nitude. Everything that could possibly be required
was provided on the most liberal scale, and the men
and officers engaged in the company's service were
selected with the utmost care, ample securities
being given for the due performance in the colony of
the contracts into which the parties have deliberately
entered in the mother country. It will be in the recol-
lection of our readers that the above company have ob-
tained a licence from the Agricultural Land Company,
on mutually beneficial terms, to carry on their opera-
tions on the Agricultural Company's lands in the Peel
River District. It is the first company that has con-
cluded such arrangements, and the directors have made
every exertion to reap the utmost benefit of the privi-
leges thus obtained. An efficient staff of officers, with
a chosen body of men, have embarked, determined
to reap the golden harvest before them. Yesterday
the directors, accompanied by their friends and those of
the intending emigrants, visited the Tory, at Gravesend,
and closely inspected the accommodations provided, which
were of the most satisfactory description. Afterwards,
all hands being called on deck, Mr. H. C. Duppa
proceeded to address them. After expressing his assur-
ance of the regret with which they would learn that the
managing director of the company, and owner of the
vessel, was by illness prevented from attending on
the occasion, Mr. Duppa announced the great sa-
tisfaction with which the directors had received
Mr. Levecque's report of the orderly and cheerful
conduct of the men during the period they had been on
board, a line of conduct which they confidently trusted
would be pursued under whatever circumstances might
occur. He felt convinced himself that, by a Billing and
cheerful obedience to orders, the comfort, happiness, and
well-being of the men would be certainly attained. An
undertaking like the present, in which they were all en-
gaged, where a distance so great had to be traversed be-
fore they could arrive at the site of their labours, would
give ample time for their becoming mutually well
acquainted, and for cultivating friendly feelings towards
each other. " Remember" (continued the speaker)
"you go not to work solely for the company that
sends, feeds, and pays you, but also for yourselves ; as
you are, by your engagements, entitled to a share in the
gold produced by your labours, amounting to 20 per
cent. nett. Aided by the powerful machinery you carry
out, you will probably obtain a larger profit than were
you to rely on your individual exertions." Mr. Duppa
then proceeded to read the names of the officers of the
Company under whose orders they were to be henceforth
placed :—Lord Walter Butler, the Managing Director
in Australia ; Captain Price ; Dr. Wigan ; Mr. Bond
(commissariat) ; Mr. M'lntyre (engineer) ; Mr. Hoare
(superintendent of miners) ; with ten sub-officers of the
Company. The number of men is .110. After a few
valedictory words Mr. Duppa retired amid three deafen-
ing cheers from the men, who received hls observations,
delivered with great spirit and feeling, with the
utmost satisfaction. Mr. R. Martin, one of the
directors, also addressed them in a few pithy
observations, pointing out the auspicious circumstances
under which this expedition was started, and the pros-
pective advantages in store for the men in Australia.
He was heard with great attention, and enthusiastically
cheered by as fine-looking a set of fellows as ever left for
the Antipodes.
Tha directors, officers, and some friends dined, in the
evening, at the Falcon, where an excellent entertain-
ment was provided. Shortly after the cloth had been
removed a. deputation arrived from Erith, in order to
present a testimonial to Mr. Wigan, the medical officer
in charge of the expedition, from his friends and former
patients.

Mr. Wigan received the gratifying token of amity with
much emotion, and in a very eloquent and feeling
speech testified the deep sense of gratitude he entertained
for the unexpected reward of his previous exertions ;
one that would be cherished and retained to the latest
moment of his existence, and would be transmitted as
an heir-loom to his children. Few expeditions, if any,
have ever left the shores of old England under more
favourable auguries than that which has just been dis-
patched in the good ship Tory for the auriferous soil of
Australia, by the Australian Cordillera Gold Mining Com-
pany.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND

RAILWAY.

Yesterday morning a painful degree of excitement was
created in Bristol by the arrival of information that a
dreadful accident had occurred on the Bristol and Bir-
mingham branch of the Midland Railway, near the
Mangotsfield station, about five miles from the Bristol
terminus, and which had resulted in the loss of two
lives and severe injuries to several other persons. On
making the necessary inquiries this information turned
out to be too correct. The following account of this
melancholy event has been derived partly from official
sources, and partly from personal investigation. It ap-
pears that the accident occurred to the morning down
mail train from Birmingham and the North, and which
is due at Bristol at 6 a.m. The train had proceeded in
safety till it approached the Mangotsfield station, and
was within only about five miles of its destination when,
owing to some derangement of the machinery or boiler
tubes, it gave symptoms of coining to a standstill. The
engineer and stoker both at once got off and en-
deavoured to ascertain the cause of the stoppage, and
also to repair the damage. For this purpose the train
was entirely stopped. It so happened that at this very
time an engine, which the previous evening had gone up
the line for the purpose of assisting a heavy luggage train
up the steep 'incline, was in the act of returning to the
engine house at the Bristol station. The driver of this
engine, being wholly unaware of any stoppage on the
line, and the morning been very foggy, did not sec the
disabled train till just as he was turning a sharp curve
near the Mangotsfield station, and had arrived within a
very short distance of it. He applied the breaks, and
did all in his power to stop the engine and avert a col-
lision, but unhappily in vain, for it ran into the train
with alarming violence, completely smashing the two last
carriages all to pieces. Of course, the most disastrous
consequences ensued. Two of the unfortunate passengers,
both inhabitants of Glocester, were killed on the spot, and
several others were more or less severely injured. The guard
of the mail train, a man named Bennett, and who is well
known in Bristol as a remarkably steady man, was shock-
ingly cut about the head and face, but fortunately he was
not rendered insensible, so that he was enabled to look
after his mail bags, place them in another down train,
and bring them on with all his letters and • despatches
to Bristol. The injuredpassengers were also brought on
to Bristol, and conveyed to the George Inn Templegate,
immediately adjoining the Bristol terminus, and a mes-
senger was at once dispatched for Dr. Lansdowne, who
was speedily in attendance, and rendered his professional
assistance. Another medical man was also promptly on
the spot. Every attention was also rendered to the
sufferers by Mr. Dyke, the company's active superinten-'
dent, who, the moment the information reached Bristol,
procured a special engine from the Great Western Com-
pany, and proceeded himself to the spot, to see that they
were carefully and promptly removed to Bristol. Sub-
joined is a list of casualties :
Mr. Thomas Jones, Glocester, killed.
Mr. William Hantell, Gloucester, killed.
Mr. James Moreton, severe contusions and injuries of
the head and person.
Mr. S. Chas, a foreigner, injuries of the ancle.
Bennet (the mail guard), wounds and contusions of
he face and head.
Mr. Henry Thompson, fractured arm.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

12, St. Helen's-place, City, March 8.

Sin,—ln your journal of yesterday I observe a
pretended account of the seizure of the ship Sal_
sette, bound for Australia, under circumstances cal-
culated to injure materially, perhaps even to ruin,
my clients. The circumstances you narrate, though
founded on some peculiar facts, are in the main and
in the substance wholly false. From the style, j.t
evident your information is derived from one of those
men who so cruelly, and in a manner so surpris-
ingly vindictive, have persecuted my unfortunate
clients, even to the Court of Bankruptcy, but where
the adjudication is to be disputed, and I have full
and authoritative reason to hope upset, on Friday
next. It nay afford you some reason to doubt your
correspondent's accuracy when I tell you that good
and ample security was offered to their vindictive
per-
secutors,and accepted, befDre the arrest of the oaptain
or the adjudication procured against my clients, which
was procured by certain parties in entire violation
of the agreement entered into. I entirely acquit
the solicitor in the matter of the petition of
all participation in the conduct above depicted.
His conduct throughout has been most gentlemanly
and courteous, pressed on unwillingly by those he repre-
sentecl. It is a further proof of the vindictiveness
of the parties to whom I have alluded, that a friend
of my clients left for Dublin, even after the security
above-mentioned had been given, and returned, within
40 hours, with the money sufficient to satisfy all
claims in his pocket in vain. The introduction by
you of the name of Messrs. Deane and Co. is unwar-
ranted and utterly untrue. Not one penny is, or was,
owing to those gentlemen. Goods to a large amount
have been purchased, both of those gentlemen and of
others, and paid for in cash. The statement that letters
were found, evincing an intention to evade their credi-
tors, is equally false.
You cannot enter into—you cannot understand—all
the circumstances of this most peculiar case. You are
much to blame for inserting an ex parte statement. I must
beg you to give up the name of your informant that imme-
diate proceedings may be taken against him. I mat
request you to insert this letter in your impression of this
day ; at the same time, not relieving you thereby from
the consequences of any damage my clients may sustain
through the publication of this libel upon them.—l am,
Sir, yours, &c.,
MONTAGUE LEVERSON,
Solicitor for Mr. Dunne and Mr. Venables.

MELANCHOLY 'CASE or FRATRICIDE.—A man named
George Seignor, had been to Dungannon market on
Thursday, and on returning home in the evening in a
state of intoxication, he commenced to abuse his wife.
His brother, John Seignor, who is represented to have
been a most inoffensive and peaceable man, interfered,
and on the other persisting in brutalities a scuffle ensued,
during which the drunken man produced a clasp knife,
and plunged it into the side of the other, who has since
died. The wretched survivor decamped at the time of
his brother's death, and has not since been heard of,—
BMW' of Ulster.

SALISBURY SPRING MEETING.--Ethelbert, after hav
ing been backed for a great deal of money for the Don-
caster Handicap by the public, on Monday and Tuesday
at as little as 3 to 1 on the supposition that the stable
was " on," the horse early yesterday morning beca,m?,
in the peculiar phraseology of the ring, very "fishy ;
and soon afterwards was declared not to sztart. This,
of course, entirely capsized my judgment ; but had he
run, lam pretty nearly certain he must have won. St.
Andrew, who I placed in the second position, realised
that portion of my prognostications to the letter.
Hungerford, I remarked, was not altogether disposed of
by the weight ; and he just managed to win cleverly.
Ethelbert was brought out for the Betting Room
Stakes, which he won very easily I The ether races
require no commenk _

The principal race at Salisbury to-morrow, will bs
that for the Stewards Plate of 50 sovs., the gift of Sir
J. B. Mills, added to a Sweepstake of 15 s ovs. each,
5 ft, &c., (one mile and three quarters.) The interest
of this race is entirely confined to Weathergage, Buck-
thorn, and Michaelmas Maid ; and as I do nort entertain
that high opinion of Weathergage that most people do,
I shall look for the winner in BUCKTHORN or ,MICHAEL-
MAS MAID. Cariboo's running is extremely- -doubtful.
Bushranger, at the weight cannot win. Jot) Miller's
extra 101 b will settle him. Lamartine is decidedly in-
ferior to Buckthorn at the weight. Psaltery and the
Peggy filly are disposed of ; one by being short of work,
and the other, I believe, being a non-starter.
The entries for the County Members Plate and South
Western Railway Stakes do not close and name: until
this evening.

I shall &cline giving an opinion on the Wiltou. Park
Stakes, as I cannot ascertain what is likely to go..
In the last day or two the Derby betting has -under-
gone a marked change with respect to two or three
horses. The selection made by me for that great event
on Monday last—Orestes—has been in great for DO ever
since ; and, upon a large outlay at the list houses, and to
some extent at Doncaster, has advanced from 16 to 12 to
1, and I have not the slightest doubt but what m 7
remark made in that note, "that 8 to 1 or under would
be taken before the day," will be very soon realised. At
the same time I stated upon good authority that Bong-
wood was overrated, and that he would only prove a
tolerably good handicap animal. Since then, signifi-
cantly enough, he has retired from 14 to 20 to 1. The
Reiver is firm in the market, and is evidently " coming."
West Australian is steady at 9 to 1, and will soon se® a
much shorter price ; he is Scott's best, although tlia
showy-looking Hurworth is thought a great deal of.
CHESTER CUP.—The two favourites, Trifle and La br
Evelyn, are well worth an investment at their present
prices, being, as far as I can see at the present tutu
about the best in the race.

CONSTANTINE is doing strong work for his engage'
ments in the Craven Meeting.
ORINOCO, I understand, is to be the representative of
Mr. Stanley's stable for the Guineas.

ANOTHER DARING ROBBERY IN

MANOHRSTER.

The shop of Messrs. 011ivant, goldsmiths, silversmitr
and jewellers, corner of Exchange-street and 11;
Mary's-gate, Manchester, was entered by thieves ear'?
on Tuesday morning, and plundered of valuable Pre'
perty, estimated at upwards of 2,5001. The pretni°l
were entered by picking the padlock of a grid throng
which the shop-shutters are taken from the cellar ill°
Exchange-street. There was easy access through lir
fastened doors in the cellar and &staircase into the sale'
shop, and also into the repairing shop. The lock
been removed from the door of the repairing shop
probably to let in confederates, but this door was
bolted inside, so that when the thieves left the preno°",
one of them probably returned by the way the entro
was effected. They appear to have plundered all a.
glass-cases and drawers of the portable and most v,b`
able property, including 81 gold watches, maker's nalllgt,
" 011ivant ;" 30 gold brooches, set with topaz, anietile-s
carbuncle, &c. ; 250 gold guard rings and signet l'imfon;
set with blood or white carnelian, or black enamel,
old
mourning ; 30 gold Albert chains, 50 gold seals, B"hirt
watch keys, 10 gold thimbles, 5 sets of diamond
studs, 200 gold pencil-cases, some with gold pens ;
dozen silver teaspoons, and 60 gold guard chains- „lc
The private watchman and his wife, and two fern a
cleaners slept on the premises, but up in the third fop
fourth stories, at the back. A private watchman is cl
employed by the shopkeepers in Exchange-street I.
St. Anne's-square, in addition to the regular police-cony
stables, to watch the property, of which this shop foe
a part ; but the thieves have managed to elude

because a man was seen leaving by the shop 4

T. FRENCIf EMPIRE.

For some time past a modification in the French
Cabinet has been contemplated, but it has been
Postponed till now on account of the Emperor's
marriage it having been found that the retirement
,of the Ministers at the period of the marriage might
oe attributed to that event. The period appears,
however, to have now arrived when the change
actually take place. Marshal de St. Arnaud
18 to leave the War Department in disgrace, but
his fall is to be disguised under the plea of bad
health, it having been determined that he shall
leave Paris for a time, and take up his residence at
the Hybres. It is said that very probably the de-
cree will appear in the Moniteur of to-morrow, by
rich M. Ducos, the Minister of the Marine, will
, appointed ad interim Minister of War, till the
aefi.nitive successor of Marshal de St. Arnaud
shall be appointed. Marshal Vaillant is still
Spoken of as the next Minister of War, but there
appear to be some difficulties in the way of his
appointment. It is said that in the event of Mar-
, soal Vaillant ultimately declining to take office,
General Aupick, who has been removed from the
place of ambassador at Madrid, and whose nomina-
tion as a senator appears in the Moniteur of
yesterday, will probably be appointed Minister of
War. Several other Ministers are also to retire. M.
33ineau, the present Minister of Finance, is among
the number ; as well as M. de Maupas, the Minis-
ter of 'the • Police. It is said that the Ministry of
13°1-ice Will be abolished, and that M. de Maupas
will 'be s recompensed by a foreign embassy. He
he
been Offered one of the secondary courts, but
ne is said-to aspire to that of London. All these
changes will be made under the inspiration of M.
de Morny and M. Fould, who continue to have the
pleponderating.jauence in the councils of Louis
Napoleon.
The affair of Madame de Solms is notyet finished;
it is to be brought forward in some other shape,
and it is said that the parties connected with the
case are in possession of some curious documents
relating to the Bonaparte family and the Emperor,
which they threaten to make public. M. de Solms,
husband of Madame de Solms, who was recently
expelled from France, arrived at Havre yesterday.
He will embark at that port for the United States.
It appears that Madame de Solms, who with her
brother is now resident at Brussels, gives out that
the English Government has made strong repre-
sentations to the French Government on the sub-
ject of their expulsion. This, however, is hardly
Possible, for it appears exceedingly doubtful if they
have any claim to the character which they assume
f English subjects. It is certain that Mr. Wyse,
the English Minister at Athens, whom they claim
as their father, disowns them, and has always done
He is undoubtedly the husband of their mo-
Vler, but they were born long after their separa-
t4on ; and as respects Madame de Solms herself, it
'las never been pretended, even by her mother,
that she was Mr. Wyse's daughter. After receiv-
ing the order of the Minister of Police—but be-
fore leaving France—both Madame de Solms and
her brother wrote a series of the most insulting
letters to the French Government, and the result
!vas a. peremptory .order for them to be sent to the
frontier at once.
e, The question of a reconciliation between the
branch,
branch of the Bourbons and the Orleans
after having slumbered for some months,
.7,begins again to be spoken of. It is said that , the
of the Belgians, who has hitherto taken no
in the affair, has written to the Duchess of
Orleans, strongly urging the necessity of a "fusion,"
and 'declaring that the resistance of the Orleans
fof was seriously injuring the future prospects
1: the Comte de Paris. The exiled generals are all
1,
"eeerne Fusionists.
Great surprise has been created in Paris by the
appearance of the name of the Dukeide Trevise
4
the
those who have recently been advanced to
n dignity of senator. The Duke de Trevise not
t iIY held a high office in the household of the
~,,,nchess of Orleans, but was one of the most inti-
Za to' among the friends of her royal highness. It
duke
be recollected that as late as last autumn the
°lce actually accompanied the Duchess to Switzer-
Plid, and remained with her till her return to Eng-
I'd- At the period of the Emperor's marriage, he
tLas still so devoted a partisan of the Orleans family
04 he expressed the utmost indignation against
1.1.4 daughter, the Countess de Latour-Maubourg,
iLr the " treason" which she committed in accept-
a7, a place in the household of the new Empress ;
~71 yet, within three short weeks, he not only
ji-eePts the place of senator, but his wife, the
~Ilehess of Trevise, has consented to follow the
the
of her daughter, and to accept a place in
.4e train of the new impress. Another of the
1,-7,_4aterial appointments which has excited general
T""Prise is that of the Marquis de Boissy. M.
IbPlong,•, who has a lively recollection of the an-
,,oYance to which Duke Pasquier was subjected
the
nlithe eccentricities of the worthy Marquis in
eis oup:s of_ Peers, is in a state of veritable alarm.
It
.said that the promotion of the Marquis is
owing to the influence of the Countess Balini
morganaticthe wife of the ex-King Jerome, who is
very intimate with the Marquise de Boissy, for-
luerly the celebrated Countess Guiccioli.
M. Drouyn de Lhuys, who was so indisposed the
day before yesterday that it was found necessary to
bleed him
all uneasiness as to his health has disappeared.
It is now understood that the coronation of the
Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Eugenie will
take place next month.
BY an Imperial decree in the Moniteur, General
`llPick, Ambassador at Madrid, M. Lebrun, mem-
ber of the Institute, and Baron Thieullen, deputy,
re appointed Senators.
A. consulate is about to be established at Broussa,
the residence of Abd-el-Kader. Byron Rousseau,
formerly interpreter to the African army, is spoken
of for this post.
The Marquis de Lavalette, Ambassador at Con-
stantinople, has arrived at Marseilles.
„The direct transmission of messages by the elec-
trictelegraph between Paris and London cora-
, lilacs
on Monday. A singular circumstance took
vtoe on the occasion : a dispatch of forty words,
Ilent from Paris at nine in the morning, arrived in
ndon at two minutes before nine. This is ex-
tra_ ed by the difference of time existing between
clocks of Paris and London.
iWe read in the Constitutionn,el:—" Capt. Cheva-
br, of the port of Nantes, being last summer on
e western coast of Africa, where he was in weak
embarked as a passenger on board the Eng-
in steamer the anerald, which left on July 5, for
„agland. The captain of the Emerald died a few
Zvg after the departure, and his loss was felt the
~„°re severely that none of the other officers were
t7l)able of directing the vessel. In the emergency
N,',4,e passengers had recourse to Captain Chevalier,
t_.4°) notwithstanding the state of his health, con-
„ented to take the command. The passage was a for-
t`', ate one, and on August 8 the Emerald cast an-
Llor before Plymouth. It would be difficult to give
17 idea of the gratitude expressed to Capt. Cheva-
cn both by the inhabitants of Plymouth and by the
til'lnPany of Lloyd's of London, which had insured
4r,e 'vessel. This latter company tried to make him
ti'eePt some present, but not being able to overcome
dec,. disinterestedness of the French captain, they
th,nained to send him a piece of plate to signify
sense of his conduct. Accordingly, Captain
bluer
lately received from Lloyds a magnificent
tilver cup, having on it an inscription mentioning
e motive of its being presented. The form, or-
vltaents, and chasing of this cup are fully equal to

oil, ivory, tortoiseshell, and gold dust."
