disagreeable to Russia. Diplomacy was well aware of the 1
existence of the papers, and of the use intended to be made of
them : its agents were set to work, but the latter, after having
spent the money of their patrons, have been obliged to confess
that these documents have been sent to Paris, where they
have really arrived, and will probably be publishel. It is
said that among the number there are very curious despatches
relative to the treacheries, which may be called permanent, of
which France has been the object ever since the revclution of
1830.—Le Courier Francais.
The Emperor Nicholas arrived at Kreuth on the 726 inst.
On his passage through Gemane (Tegernsee) his Majesty,
perceiving a large crowd collecting round his carriage, got
into a postchaise, and continued his journey in the strictest
incognito.

We have accounts from Jamaica to the 14th ult. The
following is the substance of a proclamation issued to the
apprentices :
The Governor informs them that in a few days more they
will become free, the Legislature of the Island laving relin-
quished the remaining two years of their apprenticeship, and
h t the Ist of Au_ u,t next will be the happy day when they
will become free, and your Governor gives you joy of the
great blessing ; and you must depend on your own ex-
e.-Lions for your livelihood, and to maintain and bring up
your families, and it is your interest to be civil, respectful,
and industrious to your employers. If they can agree with
their old masters, he recommends them to remain with them ;
and that they must not suppose that their houses, gardens. or
provision-grounds are their own property, as they belong to
the properties of the State, and must pay rent for them in
money. He also expects that they will behave kind to their
wives and children, and spare them from hard labour in the
field, and let them attend to their duties at home. He also
reminds them, that as they are the Queen's subjects, they must
obey the laws.

A meeting has been held on the subject of a Loan
Fund for Waterford, all classes have united to support it—men
of all religious persuasions have signified their intention to
encourage the project, and we venture to say that more bene-
eo
ficial results will attend its operations to the virtuous, sober,
and industrious classes, than ever accompanied any other pro-
ject attempted for the benefit of the people.

THE NEW COMMISSIONER OF ExclsE.—The
appointment of the son of Mr. Spring Rice, a youth of three
or four and twenty, to the Commissionership of Excise, has
excited very general disgust. It is felt that an office this
kind should not have been bestowed on a young gentle o
whom nothing is known but his parentage.

there are
so many old friends of the Liberal cause, p
for business, neglected, it is most offensive to see an appoint-
ment suitable for them so misbestowed.—Examiner. We
understand that Mr. Binning, one of the Commissioners of
Customs, has signified his wish to retire.—Observer.
REPORTED INTENTION OF HER MAJESTY TO
RESIDE AT KENSINGTON.—For some days past a report has
been extensively current at the west end of the town, and to
which, by many persons professing to be well-informed on the
subject, considerable credence has been attached, that it is
her Majesty's intention to reside a portion of the year at the
Royal Palace of Kensington, the place of her birth, and
which is endeared to her by so many fond recollections. It is
said that the ancient palace is first to undergo a thorough re-

THE ITALIAN OPERA.—The season concluded
on Saturday evening. The performances were Nozze de
Figaro, and the second act of Anna Bolena. There was no
regular ballet; but a divertissement was introduced in the
opera, which, wanting the attraction of the Elslers (who had
taken their departure) had little effect. At the end of the
performances " God save the Queen " was sun. by the whole
strength of the company ; but her Majesty, t.
who- was present
during the evening, had previously lett the house, to the dis-
appointment of the audience, who were thus deprived of the
opportunity of testifying their feelings of loyalty and affecti_n
to the person of their Sovereign. The Opera, we believe,
has never had a more brilliant or profitable season than that
which has now ended.
PHENOMENON.—On Thursday week ti,e people of
Jedburgh were astonished during the store of rain which
occurred on that day, by the fall of a large quantity of smell
salmon fry from the clouds, some of which are yet alive. It
is conjectured that they must have been caught up into the
clouds by a whirlwind, andthis is the more probable as, abi,ut
that time. this neighbourhood experienced several very severe
st. rms.—Kelso Chronicle.
VALUE OF LAND.—For a small piece of land at
Brighton, less than an acre, for which the owner gave 350/ ,
he I.; s been offered ::,000/., but requires 7,000/.
