NOTE —The deaths are returned according to the
superintendent registrars' districts, as it is found im•
practicable to distinguish every placo separately.

Our Liverpool correspondent informs us that in
the telegraphic dispatch of the news brought by the
Cambria, an erratum occurred respecting the accident to
the ship Tartar. It ought to be " six of the crew were
sick," instead of "six of the crew were lost."

besTRIXTIVE FIRE IN BETIINAL GREEN•ROAD,—
Last night, shortly before midnight, a fire that caused
considerable alarm, and was attended with a serious de-
struction of property, broke out on the premises belong-
ing to Mr. Samuel Taylor, a clothes salesman, carrying
on business at No. 180, Bethnal-green road. The flames
it appears, originated from some cause which could not
be ascertained in the front warehouse, and owing to the
ignitable nature of the stock in trade therein, but few
minutes passed away ere the whole of the lower part of
the building became wrapped in fire. At that time the
whole of the residents were in the premises, and having
made their appearance at the front window they were
about to throw themselves out. They were persuaded
by the parties below not to do so, which advice they
obeyed, and assistance having arrived all the persons
whose lives were so greatly jeopardised, managed to
effect a safe retreat from the blazing building. The en-
gines of the parish and London brigade were soon on
the spot, and there being an abundant supply of water
furnished by the East London Company, the three first
engines which came up were set to work ; but, in spite
of the exertions of the firemen, the fire continued to,
spread, and it was not until the whole of Mr. Taywloerres
stock in trade, with furniture and wearing apparel,
consumed, that the flames could be mastered. A party,
who was assisting to remove a chest of drawers from the
first floor, fell through the ceilingand was seriously in-
jured. Unfortunately Mr. Taylor wns not insured for a
single penny. Whilst the above fire was burning, an-
other happened in Playhouse-yard, St. Luke's, but,
owiti to
the timely assistance orded, only ono room
in the house was burned out.
The Governor and Company of the Bank of
Englund have contributed an additional sum of 1001.
(making 300/.) in aid of the funds of the Committee for
Promoting the Establishment of Baths and Washhouses
for the Labouring Classes, towards the completion of the
model establishment, Goulston square, Whitechapel.
DINNER TO MESSRS. T. M. GIIISON AND JOHN
BRlußT.—Arrangements are in progress for a grand
banquet to be given by the electors of Manchester to
their tried and excellent representatives in Parliament,
the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson, M.P., and Mr. John
Bright, M.P. It is proposed, we understand, that it
should take place early in 1850 ; but none of the details
are yet decided upon. A preliminary meeting of the
committee will be held at the Spread Eagle, Hanging
Ditch, on Thursday evening, to consider and determine
upon the steps to be taken in the matter; and, no doubt,
the banquet will be on a scale of magnificence in every
way commensurate with the importance of the occasion.

GOOD EXAMPLE FOR PARISH AUTHORITIES.—The
churchwardens of St. Margaret's and St. John's, NV( st•
minster, were on Saturday served with a notice from
the Board of Health in reference to the Christ Church
burial ground in the Broadway, which is the joint ceme-
tery of those parishes, requiring that no interments
should hereafter take place except under specified regu-
lations as to depth and width of graves, and also that the
whole surface of earth should be covered with three
inches of quicklime. The churchwardens forthwith

summoned avestry, which was held on Tuesday, and it
was then immediately admitted that in the overcrowded
state of this ground it would be quite impossible to
comply with the regulations, and that the order was in
fact a virtual closing of the churchyard for interments.
One individual only was disposed to " fight the Board of
Health;" but such a suggestion found no seconder, and
it was unanimously resolved that the churchwardens
should immediately have the ground covered with
quicklime as ordered, and that no more inter-
ments should take place, and the rectors and church-
wardens were requested, by a vote of the vestry,

to make such piovition for interments as should
be requisite until the meeting of Parliament, when
it was hoped that some general measure for pro-
♦iding cemeteries for the metropolis would be introduced
by the Government. We trust this sensible proceeding,
which stands in honourable contrast to the conduct of
others, may hare its duo weight with parish officers in
general.

- SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.—BEHEING STRAITS EXPE-
DITION.—We stated two months since that her Majesty's
ship Herald, Captain Kellett, C. 8., had left Wooahoo
Sandwich Islands, on the 19th of May, for Petropau:
lanski and Behring's Straits. Another letter from
the Sandwich Islands states that she left with a full
supply of provisions for herself and her Majesty's ship
Plover, Commander Moore; the Captain (Kellett), officers,
and crew, in good health and spirits. Whilst we aro
anxiously watching for Sir John Franklin at one entrance;
we still think it possible he may emerge at the other, in
which case it is satisfactory to know that he will find
ample relief provided for him-by the Admiralty.
BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—Yester-
day evening a meeting of the directors and members of
the above institution was held at the committee-rooms,
in Paternoster-row, for the transaction of general busi-
ness. The report stated that the affairs of the insti u-
don continued to progress favourably. Relief to the ex-
tent of 3551. had been afforded to a number of sick and
distressed retail booksellers and assistants, as well as to
their widows, during the past year. During the same
period 750 L 13s. lid. had been added to the permanent
fund, which now reaches nearly 18,0001., in the hands
of the commissioners for the reduction of the national
debt. The income of the year, from donations, sub-
scriptions, and interest, was 1,280/. 165.; the expendi-
ture, including investments, left a balance in baud of
62/. 17s. 2d.
MASTER BOOT AND SHOEMAKERS' PROVIDENT
AND BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Last evening a meet-
ing of the members of the above institution, for affording
relief to aged and decayed members, their widows and
orphans, was held at the Freemason's Tavern; R. Taylor,
Esq., in the chair. The report stated that the committee
had purchased a plot of ground at Alortlake, Surrey, and
are engaged in the erection of an asjlum for aged mem-
bers. There are now eight annuitants on the funds, the
males receiving 20/., and the females 15/. per annum.
The subieriptions and donations for the past year, toge-
ther with dividends, was 3091. I Is. Id., whilst the expen-
diture, including 1211. 134. 4d. paid to the then six
annuitants, left a balance,of 12/. ss. 9d. The annuity
fund invested was 2,2001. The asylum when complete
will contain 25 habitations.

ST. MARY-LE-STRAND.—Last evening a public
meeting of the vestry and inhabitants of this parish was
held at the Vestry-room, Church-court, for the purpose
of receiving the report of a committee appointed on the
sth instant, relative to a successor to Mr. Trewhitt, who
had held the office of vestry-clerk upwards of 34 years,
and had now resigned. The chair was occupied by
Senior Churchwarden Ralph. Mr. Churchwarden
Stacey read the rep,rt of tip committee. It briefly
recapitulated the duties of the vestry-clerk, recom-
mended that he should be el, cted annually, ant
that the salary be fifty guineas a year, including
all law and other charges. On the motion of Mr.
Young, seconded by Mr. Lowe, the report was dg; eed
to. The ♦entry then proceeded to receive the names
of candidates tor the vacant office. Tt:ese were slatcd
to be Mr. Isaacson, vestrj-eletk of St. Clement Danes,
Mr. Score, Mr. Murrough, and Mr. Yonge ; in the
course of a sedcrztnt of two bcurs which ensued, the fol•
to various steps were taken :—Mr. ranter moved,
and Mr. Warren seconded, that no vestry clerk of
another parish should be eligible. Mr. Swart moved as
an amendment, Mr. lichen seconded, and Mr. Glenny
support( d, that every person should be eligible. Amend-
ment lost by a large majority, and motion carried by 28
to 15. Mr. Glenny then gale notice that he should poll
the parish, which would render it necessary to pay a
new rate prior to the elec,ion. A gentleman next
observed that they had met to receive the names of
candidates, and the four gentlemen above-named were
thin duly nominated. ilar. Glenny hereupon said ho
did nut wish to put the parish to expense, and ho
should move, therefore, that the election take place
next Thursday, no candidate being predetermined to be
ineligible. After an interminable discussion this motion
was agreed to, so that the first resolution was, in effect-,
nullified.

ST. LEONARD, SUOREDlTCll.—Yesterday a vestry
meeting of the inhabitant ratepayers of this pariah was
held in the vestry-room attached to the church, for the
purpose of considering the expediency of choosing a
churchwarden, in the place of the late Mr. Thomas
Brooks, when after some conversation, Mr. John Aircy,
of High-street, Shoreditch, grocer, was chosen.
Mr. Thomas Edward Lytton, son of Sir Edward
Bulwer Lytton, Bart., has been appointed an unpaid
attache to the British Embassy at IVathington, United
States.

THE NATIONAL GALLEUT.—It is generally under-
stood that St. George's Barracks, at lharing•cross,
situate directly behind the National Gallery, will be
discontinued at the end of two yr,ars from this time, and
that a large addition to the latter building will be erected
on their site.

lIEALTIIT HAMPTON,—A correspondent informs us
that "we have now three persons lying dead hero
(Banton) of the united ages of 270 years; two ladies,
one 94, the other 92, and one gentleman 84 years, show-
ing what a healthy place this must be."
THE FLORIN.—The new two-shilling piece, known
as the " florin," is not about to be called in because of
the words " Dci Gratia." In consequence of the dissa-
tisfaction expressed by a large portion of the public at
the omission, the Chancellor of the Exchequer ordered
a search for precedents of such omission. The result
has been that some most interesting details en the sub-
ject of the coiusge of these realms have been brought
forth. It would appear that no example was discovered
of the omission of the words before mentioned from any
of the silver coins, but many examples of the omission
were found as regarded the copper coinage. The words
" Fidei Defensor" have also been omitted. It further
appears that " Dei Gratia" was not used on any of the
linglith copper money from the Restoration till 1797,
and also that " Fidei Defensor" was not used for the
whole of that period. Charles the Second, William the
Third, and Mary, George the First and George the
Second, omitted the words from copper coins. The
rupee and other coins in India merely have the words
" Victoria, Queen."

threatened to stab the guard. When on board the

they were not able to do so until he had stabbed himself
in four places. The wounds are not considered fatal,
although one of them is said to have punctured the
lungs.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Oct. 19.)
SCGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was in excellent
request for home trade purpose, and in some cases the
rates obtained were 6d per cwt above those of Friday
last. The purchases amounted to 730, making for the
week 3,000 hhds, &c; and the market for all sorts of
Coloaial Sugar closes with a healthy appearance.
REFINED.—To-day Refined sugar was in good demand
for home trade purposes, and prices ruled firmer, brown
Lumps selling at 47s to 47s 6d, and fair grocery 48s to
485 64 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar continues to be
dealt in with caution at 275 6d to 28% 6d per cwt.
MAITRITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was
dealt in with greater freedom, and the public sales of
3,938 bags went at rather higher rates; fine yellow
realised 395 6d to 40s 6d, low to good 35s to 395, mid-
dling to fine brown 33s to 355, inferior 28s to 325, grainy
white 45s to 465, and yellow ditto at 415 to 42s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—To-day Bengal Sugar was operated in
with more readiness, and at public sale 2,800 bags were
sold at full rates for white Benares, whilst other sorts
continue rather higher; Benares fine white realized
39s 6d to 40s, middling to good 38s to 395, damp and
washed 375 6d to 40s, ordinary and middling soft yellow

whilst none was submitted to public competition, and the
quantity declared is small. Bonded parcels are held for
previous terms, yet shippers are not more disposed to
to operate, add the purchases concluded by private treaty
have been of little moment. The sales made by Refiners
working under bond have also been small. Previous
terms are required for duty-paid parcels, still home
dealers continue to do business with caution, although
Foreign Sugar is as cheap as Colonial. An impression
exists that for most descriptions prices have arrived at
their lowest point. Some holders aro not disposed to
sell at present rates, and have withdrawn their samples
from the market.

&MINTON IRON WORICII.—The ancient town of
Kilwiuning has been greatly improved, and its popula-
tion augmented, by the establishment of the Eglinton
ironworks in its immediate vicinity. The Messrs.
Baird, to whom these works belong, by their enterprise
have quite changed its appearance, and greatly increased
the comforts of the inhabitants. It must, therefore, be a
subject of gratification to all to find their works con-
ducted with such spirit, and it is to be hoped profitably
to themselves. Three furnaces are in blast, and a fourth
one built will be so in a few weeks. The quantity of
iron manufactured daily amounts to about 100 tons.
The hands employed about these works, including the
miners at Dalry, number about 600; so that, reckoning
those depending on them, not less than 2,000 depend for
their daily bread on the prosperity of the company. Kil-
winning is a great resort of those engaged in ornamental
needlework, sad the agents for this species of fanciful
embroidery give employment to a great many young
girls from the neighbouring towns.—Kilmarnock Journal.
BEDMINSTER.—A RAILWAY RIDE FREE 05'
CHARGE.—A curious and amusing accident occurred tc
one of the lads belonging to the national school of this
town. It appears that the young gentleman was idling
for a day, when his saunterings took him to the neigh-
bourhood of the railway as the luggage train was passing.
As the part of the line at Bedminster which he was then
on is not far from the terminus, the engine had not got
up its speed, and was then, with the vans, moving at a
comparatively slow rate, a circumstance which induced
the youthful truant to lay on behind by the buffer of the
last waggon for a short run. Gradually, however, the
pace quickened, until at length the rapid rate at which
he flew along convinced the young shaver that it would
be dangerous to descend from his perch, and not perhaps
quite safe to continue there, so he crept up the back of
the waggon and under the tarpaulin, crouched up snugly
in a corner amongst the goods. Here he remained,
afraid to show himself atany of the intermediate stations,
until they reached Exeter at four o'clock, when, on the
porters coming to unpack the waggons, he was found in
his hiding place. " I'm very hungry," was his first cry
on being detected, which was probably the case, as he
had been six hours travelling; so the porters very
kindly gave bim some food, and on telling his story, the
people at the station sent him back by another
train; thus the Auth had a good ride and dinner for
nothing.— Somerset Count, Herald.
PLYMOUTH, OCT. 17.—An impost was held yesterday
at Burt's Ordnance Arms Inn, Devonport, before A. B.
Bone, Esq., the coroner, on the body of Jane Bell, a re-
sident in Andrew's-lane, who was found in her bed on
Monday evening in a state of stupor, from the effects of
which she never'recovered. The unfortunate woman is
the widow of a surgeon in the navy, who died eighteen
months since. Since his death, it appears she had con-
tracted dissolute habits, and was often intoxicated. On
one of these occasions, some six months since, she had a
quarrel with a naval officer who was in the house, and
nearly broke his head with a poker, which was seized by
the police, who were called In upon the occasion. In
her tits of intoxication the deceased used to rave violently
upon this subject, which, it appears, always remained on
her mind. She was the sole occupant of the house
where she was found ; and this circumstance, added to
the fact of its being known that she was possessed of
considerable property, led at first to the supposition that
some foul play might have taken place. It was quite
clear, however, from the evidence, that the deceased
must have poisoned herself—adding another to the list of
those who have caused their own death from a too free in-
dulgence in intoxicating liquors. She had upwards of
2004 in the savings' bank, and, besides the property pro-
duced in the evidence, it is said she has a chest of plate of
considerable value. The jury returned a verdict that de-
ceased died from the effects of a poison called morphia,
taken when in a state of temporary insanity.
SHIPSTON-ON-STOUR. BALLOON ASCENT...—. On
Thursday last, Mr. Green, the well known aeronaut,
made a splendid ascent from the delightful garden of the
Blisworth Hotel, adjoining the North-Western Railway
station, at the Northampton junction. On this occasion
Mr. Green was accompanied by Mr. Rush, of Elsenham-
hill, Essex, for the purpose of again testing the merits
and action of the newly-invented aneroid barometer,
which performed well during the ascent and descent,
indication the elevation and depression of the balloon to
11,000 feet, the greatest altitude attained. The descent
was effected in Tredingham Field, near Sh/PBtou-on"
§tetlrs Wetetliter Journal.

Wheat sowing goes on slowly. On Wednesday
and Thursday last a good breadth was got in; but after
this nothing was done, owing to the rain, until the be-
ginning of the week. The rains have done good, as they
have "closened " the ground, which was before too light,
and, being full of insects, not in a fit state to receive the
seed. There is a complaint among the potato growers
of the tubers being affected; and although they come up
bright and sound they are fast changing, and it is feared
will not keep during the winter. Turnips continue to
grow, and there is a good quantity of feed in the grass
lands.—Brighten Gazette.
Loss OF TILE COMMODORE NAPIER.—The following
letter regarding the loss of this vessel has been received
from Captain Thompson :
" Barque Harbinger, Archangel, Sept. 26, 1849.
" Sir,—l am sorry to inform you of the loss of your
brig, Commodore Napier, on the 21st inst., in the White
Sea, on the Lapland shore, about six miles above Cross
Island. The weather being very foggy, she ran three
or four feet out of the water forward. Mr. hay says
he would have got her off by heaving ballast, if the
weather had kept moderate; but it came on to blow on
the shore, and the rock went through her. Being a
great declivity on the rock she slipped off it, and sank
in four fathoms water, with nothing standing above the
deck. The crew are all saved, but have not saved any
thing belonging to the vessel. The consul has got the
log-book to note the protest, and the crew are put on
board different ships—two of the boys on board the
Harbinger—and Mr. Hay expects to come home with
me also. My cargo is all down, and I shall be loaded
on the 28th, and leave this as soon thereafter as possible.
"I am, sir, yours respectfully,
(Signed) " PETER THOMPSON.
"Thomas Neish, Esq., Dundee."
The Commodore Napier was one of the finest brigs be-
longing to this port-291 tons register—but was, we
understand, insured.—Dundee Advtrirser.
LEDBURY.—CHARGE OF SHOOTING Two Boys,—
At the Petty Sessions on Wednesday, Thomas Bann, of
Borrow, was charged with shooting with a gun at two
boys, named Richard Summers and John Baldwin,
with intent to do them some grievous bodily harm. Mr.
Recce, solicitor, who attended on behalf of the prisoner,
hoped the bench would treat the case as a common as-
sault only. Ho stated that the defendant had merely
discharged the gun to frighten the two complainants,
whom be caught stealing his walnuts, and had no
inten-
' tion of doing them any harm. After consultation, the
bench agreed to take the case as an assault only. Richard
Summers deposed: I live at the llollybush, in the parish
of Eastnor. I was in company with John Baldwin
throwing at Bunn's walnut-trees, on Sunday evening,
the 7th of October, when Bunn came within thirty
yards of us and presented a gun,
at us. He
drew the trigger, and the cap snapped, but the gun
did not go off. We then ran up a lane, and he
followed us, and when about sixty yards from us, as we
turned round to look at him, he fired, and a shot went
underneath one of my oyes, where it now remains. John
Baldwin gave similar evidence, and deposed that some
of the shots from the gun struck his hand. No defence
was offered further than that above stated. The magis-
trate fined the defendant 2/. for the assault upon Sum-
mers, and the like penalty for the assault upon Baldwin,
including coots.— MI tester Chronicle.

SUICIDE AT ,THE SURREY LUNATIC ASYLIM.—
On Wednesday, Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey,
held an inquest at the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum,
Garratt-lane, Wandsworth, upon the body of Eliza
Griffiths, aged 46, the wife of a policeman, at Rother-
hithe, who had committed suicide by hanging herself.
Mr. Stephen Bridgeland, the steward, proved that the
deceased (a suicidal case) was admitted into the Asylum
for a second time, on the 2241 of June last, and prior to
her first admission she bad been an inmate of Bethlem.
Elizabeth Jenkins deposed she was a nurse employed in
the institution. The deceased being unwell for some
days, had been allowed to remain in bed, and her meals
were taken to her. Witness saw the deceased between
11 and 12 on Saturday, when she had her dinner. Wit-
ness did not see deceased again until between 4 and 6
o'clock, when she found her suspended by a cord from
the wire grating of the window; her feet did not touch
the floor. She was instantly cut down. Deceased had
previously attempted suicide by thrusting her scissors
into her side. Mr. Snape, the medical officer on the
female side, having proved that the deceased had been
dead for two hours when he was called to her, and stated
that he had no doubt the death was her own act, the
jury returned a verdict " That the deceased destroyed
her life by hanging herself, being insane."

by their nature, so deeply seated and so real, that
they cannot fail to lead eventually to far more serious
consequences. M. Thiers has, after considerable
hesitation, taken up his position at the head of the
most reactionary party in the Assembly. He is
aware that this party, which is in itself the strongest
section of the Legislature, only requires a leader to
go all lengths in its resistance to the revolution both
in France and abroad. His facile elocution and his
practical talents are calculated to produce the greatest
effect on the numerous class of timid and inex-
perienced politicians whom the agitation of these
times has thrown together, and who are eagerly
watching for the orator who will satisfy their
perplexed understandings, and the statesman who
will promise some short cut to the rescue of the
country. To these may be added, though with
greater reserve, that portion of the Legitimists
whom M. Thiers has conciliated by his recent
devotion to the interests of the Church ; and
with such support it is not unlikely that the ex-
leader of the Liberal Opposition to the Monarchy
may recruit an ultra-Conservative majority in the
Assembly of the Republic. We say at once, that
if this is to be the fate of the great party
which the French nation requires for the restoration
of order and peace, nothing could be more fatal to its
true interests and its eventual success. For such
duties the first conditions are high principles and
undaunted resolution—it has been the deplorable fate
of M. Thiers to compromise the loftiest positions and
to plunge those who have trusted him headlong into
ruin, because he wanted such principles, and because
in great emergencies such resolution forsakes him.
The failure of 1836 and the failure of 1840 may be
forgotten, but history will not acquit the Minister
who ordered the troops to withdraw, and subsequently
made an ignoble retreat from the Chamber of Depu-
ties on the 24th February, 1848. Such, however, is
the man who not only aspires to lead the majority of
the Assembly, but who has commenced a more
active campaign by throwing down a challenge to the
policy of the President. It was by no oversight that
M. Thiers omitted all allusion in his report to the cele-
brated letter of Louis Napoleon to Col. Ney ; on the
contrary, the whole spirit of the report is in contradic-
tion to the more liberal views and conditions on which
the Government and the President had professed to act.
They had made the amnesty, the secularization of
the Papal Government, and the introduction of
reformed laws essential conditions ; M. Thiers ex-
pressed, on behalf of the committee, a readiness to
accept the last consequences of a Papal restoration,
bound by no serious engagements, odious to the
Roman people, and derogatory to France. This
contest led to a crisis. The existence of the
Ministry seemed to be threatened, but the cha.
racter and policy of the President were as much
at stake as those of his Government. Explanations
ensued which are said to have averted the danger,
but in the course of these transactions it has become
apparent that the real command of the majority is
not in the hands of the Ministers, but of M. Thiers;
that under his guidance and inspiration the majority
is more reactionary than the Ministry ; and that it
entertains so little respect for the President, as to
place him between an humiliating surrender of his
own opinions, when they are obviously dictated by
a generous and enlightened policy, or an open
rupture. Some such conflict is the inevitable result
of the provisions of the French Constitution, which
has created and opposed to one other, two co equal,
permanent, and rival powers ; and it is aggravated
by the character and position of the men who wield
those powers respectively. So that the one and the
other exist under the threat or the temptation of the
s soup d'etat which will one day cut the insoluble
% problem. If circumstances have occurred to alienate
from Louis Napoleon those parties who at first rallied
ss. round him and accepted his election ; if the Legiti-
-5 mists are prepared to risk their cause by any open
manifestation of the indiscreet policy of their leaders
oand the crude fanaticism of their adherents, contrary
s to the wishes of the Count de Chambord himself; if
i 34 M. Thiers imagines that the moment is come when he
*an assume the direction, or at least the irrespon-
sible control of affairs, by the aid of the
'6d bourgeoisie, the Orleanists, and the alarmists ; if
the Republican minority still pursues its frantic
- chimeras ; the party of Louis Napoleon himself
7s would find itself reduced to very limited numbers in
ski. the Assembly, and out of the Assembly his firmest
• hold would be in the army. There undoubtedly his
popularity has not diminished, and his conduct to the
troops, both at home and in Italy, has been judicious
and effective. But to attempt the solution of such
difficulties by a blow is evidently in the highest de.
gree perilous ; and though such expedients may long
appear possible, if not probable, in France, it is the
interest of all men, and above all it is the interest of
the nation, to avoid any sudden catastrophe, which
would give the signal for an eruption of all the fac-
tions, the divisions, and the political bands which, in-
fest the country both above and below its surface.
These things cannot last. The edifice is built
without solidity of material or solidity of structure,
and all the elements which have successively over-
turned the mightiest Governments of the past
century are already warring against it. Yet again
we say, it is not so much by the fault of this Govern-
ment, either in its form or in its measures, as by the
present unhappy constitution of society itself, that the
French nation is hourly menaced with increasing
ruin. Democracy has literally devoured and swept
away the columns and bulwarks of the State, until
nothing remains to be destroyed but property in its
primitive form; and even that is attacked. The
moral state of the nation is even worse, since all
faith, contentment, and trust in the laws and insti-
tutions of the land are shaken, not to be restored.
Destruction has itself become a faith with the wilder
and more impatient sort of minds; and even at the
moment when some progress had been made in the
recovery of industry and ease, that authority which
can alone save the country totters on the brink of
perdition, alternately attacked by its open enemies,
or torn asunder by the more implacable passions and
more insatiable intrigues of those who call themselves
its counsellors and its friends.
POST.—Our advices from Vienna speak again of
executions. The official Gazette of Pesth announces,
it will be seen, the sentence passed by the court-
martial of Arad on thirteen of the late Hungarian
leaders. Of these, Colonel Kiss alone was condemned
to be shot—the rest were doomed to a more igno-
minious death. Haynau, the General-in. Chief, con-
firmed the decision of the Court, but afterwards
commuted the sentence in favour of Captain Desewlfy
and Lieutenant Lazar. These, with Colonel Kiss,
were shot ; the remaining ten were hanged on the
6th inst., the anniversary of the murder of Count
Latour, and of the revolution at Vienna. It was on
the same day, as our readers are aware, that Count
Louis Batthyany suffered death at Pesth. The pro-
perty of the condemned, whether moveable or im-
moveable, and in whatsoever place to be found, was
ordered to be confiscated. By this decree the widows
and families of the chiefs are left destitute; and
punishment even in respect of worldly means is
extended to innocent persons, the cup of whose
sorrow might already have been deemed full.
Had the Hungarian insurrection been without any
particle of justification, and had the unaided power of
Austria been able to put it down, these proceedings

The DESERTERS at NOTTINGHAM.
At five o'clock on Monday evening, fifteen out of
the twenty-seven that escaped on Sunday night from
the barracks remained uncaptured. At that hour
the deserters met in a body on the London-road. A. dis-
patch was immediately sent to head-quarters, and a
body of about fifty soldiers were ordered in pursuit.
At six o'clock the deserters were at a village about a
mile from Nottingham, accompanied by an
immense mob of the lower orders, by
whom they were loudly cheered. Indeed, throughout
the whole of this disgraceful affair, the
mob has taken part with the deserters, and thrown
every possible obstacle in the way of the parties
sent to apprehend them. At half-past six o'clock
the proper authorities passed through the village
in rapid pursuit; and not coming up with the
objects of their search, the troop was disbanded
into small parties, and scoured the country for two
or three miles round. The deserters were at length
discovered near the Nottingham meadows, and, after
a smart skirmish, eight of the refractories were
taken, and instantly conveyed to the barracks. It is
but justice to say that the parties engaged in the
capture of the insurgents have acted in the most
forbearing manner, and that they have only used
stringent means when all others failed. We under-
stand the whole affair arose out of the late holiday
(Nottingham fair). About sixty of the regiment
spent too much of their time at the fair, and neg-
lected to attend properly to their horses ; and Colonel
Arthur, a gentleman highly esteemed, not only by
his men, but also in the town, as a punishment, re-
solved to confine the delinquents to the barracks.
On Sunday the whole sixty had agreed to
leave the barracks by force, but when the
time arrived only twenty-seven appeared at
the call of the leader. The barrack-yard
postern was smashed to atoms, and other disgraceful
acts committed ere the deserters got clear away.
TUESDAY EVENING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.--Up to this
hour five of the insurgents connected with the riot on
Sunday night remain uncaptured. The picquet were
engaged in an active plirsuit all last night, and about
eleven o'clock succeeded in capturing one of the ring-
leaders, about a mile south of the town ; another has
been taken today, so that five only now remain at
large. The one that was captured on Monday had
taken refuge in a public-house, in one of the low parts
of the town. He was discovered in bed, dressed in
female attire. Reports are very current in the town
that there has been for some time an indifferent feeling
subsisting between some of the officers and the men,
and that the approaching court-martial will bring to
light the reasons for such ill-feeling; and, it is to be
hoped, settle all differences.
NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY.—The excitement occa-
sioned in this town by the misconduct of the Sd
Dragoon Guards has somewhat subsided, giving way
to gossip respecting the future punishment of the
delinquents, all of whom, except two, who made their
escape on Tuesday morning, have been apprehended
by picquets which scoured the town and neighbour-
hood. Many of the refractory men had but recently
enlisted, and as such have been summarily dealt with-
The others, who are suspected of having taken leading
parts in the insubordination, will be tried by martial
law; and yesterday the colonel of the regiment, the
Earl Cathcart, arrived in Nottingham, by special
orders, from Glasgow, for the purpose of forming a
court, which is to be opened as soon as the neces-
sary evidence has been collected against the offenders.
