A Company formed at Paris for exploring the ruins cf Carthage has
already met with great success. A large house has been discovered on
the margin of the sea, near Bourj-Jedid. Paintings in fresco, similar
to those at Pompeii; adorn many of the rootns, and beautiful mosaics,
representing inch, Womdn, and nymphs, tidies of various kinds, tigers,
gazelles, &c. have been found. Fifteen cases with these precious relics
have arrivedat Toulon, and will be brought to Paris.

The Lcipsic Universal Gazette of the 11th states, under date " Fron-
tiers of Russia, April 25," that Bishop tronglewieh, who, during the
I'olich revolution, directed the diocese of Wilna, at.d was subsequently
raised to the episcopal dignity, had been arrested on an order from St.
Petersburgh. This measure, of which the cause was unknown, ex-
cited general surprise, the more so, as the pretate had proved himself
a devoted tal of Russia, by consenting to remove from their eccle-
siastical ftntions all the clergymen of the diocese who had
taken part in the late revolution, and who had been since in
coroporated with the Russian regiments of the Caucasus.
A carman, named Monard, was in the evening of the sth inst. driving
a load cf charcoal from Nimes to Uzes, when he was stopped by a man,
who, with a pistol, demanded his money or his life. Monard at first
pretended that he had no money, but was at length induced by the per.
suasive argument of the pistol to take two five-franc pieces from his
pocket, which he threw on the ground. While the robber was stooping
to pick them up, Monard sprang on him, wrenched the weapon from his
hand, beat him till he was sense:ess, and then with a rope tied him to the
cart. Recollecting, however, that the money was still on the ground,
he left his cart, a:.(1 went bark to fetch it, but the darkness prevented
his finding it. On rejoining his cart, the prisoner too was flown. He
had only been stunned, and on reviving had managed to make his escape.
The next morning, however, Monardy, on his way back to Nimes for
another load, had the consolation of finding Isis five-franc pieces where
he had thrown them.

Lord Brougham will leave Paris on Friday; he will go to Brussels

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

George Waiting was indicted for embezzling and secreting four post
letters, whilst employed as a letter carrier in the General Post Office.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. SHEPHERD, and Mr. ADOLPHEE ap.
peared for the prosecution ; Mr. C. PHILLIPE for the defence.

.. .
From the evidence for the prosecution it appeared that the prisoner
was employed as a twopenny postman at Kensington, and that he was en.
gaged in sorting the letters, the 18th April last. Suspicion having been
previously excited, he was searched, and four letters were found upon
him. None of the letters were opened, nor was any money contained in
them.

Mr. C. PIIILLIPPS made an able speech on behalf of the prisoner.
Verdict—Guilty.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY): TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Up to the present hour we have no account of the arrival of either of
the steamers trom New York, which is looked for with great anxiety in
the City, and particularly by the American merchants.
The following important letter has been received this morning from
Bahia, 24th March, by her Majesty's ship Dublin :
" Battles have been fought with the insurgents from the 13th to the
18th March, which have decided the fate of the rebels, and the capture
of the city, a great part of which is in ruins. The chief instigators of
the revolution are in prison, whe directly or Indirectly have assisted in
the promotion of it. Order has been restored, and tranquillity now
prevails, and business going on as heretofore. It Is generally thought
that these disturbances in the end will prove very beneficial, as it has
removed all dangerous and suspected persons, by whicn means the legal
Government will become stronger, and more respected than ever ;
conscquentiy, property more secure. Exchange, 3:--looking up. A
great number have been killed and wounded on both sides."
