tion in consequence of its rejection. The Courrier F ran-
cats, in reference to the statement put forth by the
Constztutionnel, which it attributes to the ex-President
of the Council himself, pointedly observes Were
we to believe him, he never wished nor asked for inter-
vention, but only proposed an active and efficacious
co-operation. If that were the case, why did he not
attempt it in April last, when it would have been so
much easier, when England in concert with General
ALAVA solicited it, when the Anglo-auxiliary army
had not been defeated at Fontarabia, when COR-
DOVA'S troops were not in such a state of demoraliza-
tion, and when the Constitution of 1812 had neither
been proclaimed at Malaga, Cadiz, St. Ildefonso, or
Madrid ? It is only since the late revolutionary spirit has
shown itself in several towns of Andalusia, to be propa-
gated all over the Peninsula, that M. Limas has taken
it into his head to fly to the assistance of theßoyal sta-
tute. M. THIERS is now neglecting no means to de-
ceive the public opinion upon this point. The various
readings of the papers do not suffice ; he must obtain
the assent of the President of the Chamber, in the ab-
sence of the Chamber itself. To this purpose, in con-
cert with M. SAUZET, he has addressed a letter to M.
DUPIN, representing things in a particular point of
view, for the purpose of transforming the question of
intervention, which was the cause of his fall, into a
Constitutional question, having no relation to interven-
tion. 'We shall doubtless know what M. DUPIN will
say to this."
There is nothing else of any importance in the
Journals of Sunday, with the exception of the following
extracts :

PARIS, Atha. 28 (10 P. M. )--.1110 Moniteur has no news.
According to the Morning Journals it is still M. • Mole wlio
seems to be entrusted with the re-construction of the Cabinet.
One alone, which is reported to be the organ of the Doctri-
naires, affirms that the news is premature. "M. Guizot,"
says La Paix," has been sent for by the King ; he was to
arrive last night at Paris." According to the same paper a
telegraphic dispatch has conveyed to M. Duchatel the invita-
tion to leave immediately La Charente Inferieure, where he
presides over the General Council, and to come to receive the
orders of the King.—National, Aug. 28—Second Edition.
PARIS, Aril. 27. —Yesterday evening the President of the
Chamber of Peers had the honour of an audience of the King.
To-day MM. Thiers and Sauzet, Marshal Maison, and the
Minister of the Interior, successively transacted business with
the King.
Count Mole has had an audience of the King.--Journal des
Debuts, Aug. 28.
PARIS, Arc. 28.--A letter from Algiers of August 19,
says, " The approaching arrival of Marshal Clausel is officially
announced. The Government has stated that before the end
of the year the whole of the ex-Regency of Algiers is to be
brought under the power of France, and that consequently
extensive military operations would be undertaken in the pro-
vinces of Oran, Algiers, and Constantina.
" As a prelude to these operations, as far as the province of
Algiers is concerned, it has been resolved to form a camp on
the Chill's, at the entrance of the country of the Hadjouts.
For this purpose General Brossard left Boaffariek on the
ltith of this month, at the head of 2,000 men, of all arms, in
order to form the camp. He was to place block-houses by
the way on the line of his communication, so that he would
not Le able to reach the Cliffs before yesterday evening at
the most.
" It is to be presumed that the presence of our troops on the
banks of the Cliffs, by giving the Hadjouts employment at
hand, will binder them from ravaging our territory as they
have constantly done since the month of January, 1833.
"Iu the province of Oran, there is no indication of the great
military operations which are preparing, but in that of Con-
stantina a new camp is going to be formed in advance of that
of Draan. the works of which have lately been suspended, by
order of the Minister sent by telegraph. We see that war,
ruinous war, is contemplated. Nevertheless, our means of
acting are but little augmented."
Le Mare says, it is affirmed that M. Mendizabal is entrus-
ted by the new Government of Spain with a financial mission
to London. The object of this mission is to raise money on
any terms.—Journal du Contmerce, Aug. 28, Second Edition.
PARIS, AUG. 27. The Ministers, whether they have re-
signed or not, are expecting to have successors appointed, in
consequence of the retirement of M. Thiers. Nevertheless.
in their hotels for the dispatch of business, M. Thiers himself
had yesterday afternoon pretty long conferences at the hotel of
Foreign Affairs, successively with the Duke de Frias, formerly
Spanish Ambassador, with the Portuguese Ambassador, and
Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador.—Journal d,
Commerce„ ,lug. 28, Second Edition.

Saturday morning, a young woman, named Eliza-
bethllen, fell from a height of 40 feet on the pavement in
Golden-square, while cleaning a window. She was removed
to Middlesex Hospital in a dreadful state, no hope being enter-
tained of her recovery.
The Landgrave Charles of I-Jesse Cassell died sud-
denly on the evening of the 17th inst., at the Castle of Louis-
enband, in Denmark. lie was the oldest Prince in Europe,
father-in-law of the King of Denmark, a Field Marshal, and
Governor of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. He was
in the 92d year of his age, being born on Dec. 19, 1744. In
1766 he married the Princess Louisa of Denmark, daughter of
Frederick V., and, in 1826, celebrated with that Princess a
matrimonial jubilee of 60 years.
The two political parties in Winchester are display-
ing their usual activity, preparatory to the sitting of the Courts
of the Revising Barristers. Numerous notices of objection
have been served to voters in the city, both borough and
county. From the circumstance of the latter having been
served by a former agent of Sir W. Heathcote, it is conjec-
tured that the Hon. Baronet intends again contesting the
northern division in the event of an election.--Hampshire
Advertiser.
The electors for this Borough intend, as a tribute of
unabated respect and confidence, to give a public dinner to
their worthy representatives, Sir George Grey and Sir Ed-
ward Codrington, on their arrival in the borough. It is time
to show that there has been no re-action in this part of the
West of England, at all events, however South Devon may
have disgraced itself, and done discredit to the Western Re-
formers. —Devonport Independent.
As Mr. Wayte, of Burton-upon-Trent, was,return-
ing home on Monday evening he shot a swallow, which fell
into the river Trent, and was seized by a large pike as soon as
it reached the surface of the water. The bird rose again, but
Jack was not to be baulked of his prey; he followed it to the
surface, and succeeded in carrying it to his dining-room "un-
der the waters cold," to the great amusement and wonder of
the bystanders.—Derby Express.
Extract of a letter from Rome, dated the 16th
inst. —ln regard to the cholera, the reports from Lombardy are
more and more favourable; so that it is to be hoped that ere
long some of the cordons will be taken off. Meantime, the
road by steamer from Marseilles to Civita Vecchia, and
thence to Rome, is free of all impediments, and likely to con-
tinue so.

On Saturday six woodcocks were flushed in the.
outskirts of the wood of Knockour, adjoining Baturrich
Castle. Three of them rose together, the others separately,
but at no great distance. There is every reason for believing
that these birds were hatched in the above wood.—Scots Times.
On Monday afternoon, as Mr. Peacock, carrier,
was on his way home from Stockton to Stokesley, riding on a
pony, by the side of the waggon, when opposite the Blue Bell
public-house, about 14 miles from Stockton, he fell off, and the
waggon passed over and broke both his legs. He was taken
up in a very exhausted state, but we are happy to say he is not
considered in danger.—Stockton Observer.
FIRE DAmP.—One of-the most distressing occur-
rences of this nature which has lately occurred took place on
Saturday week at the Bull pit, near Wakefield. There were
at the time of the explosion sixteen men and eight boys in the
pit; six of the boys were severely burnt by the ignition, and
three of them so much injured that one died from suffocation
immediately, and the other two died the following day. Three
other men were slightly injured by the fire, making in the
whole eleven who suffered more or less injury in the space of a
few seconds. To render the case more distressing, David
Brooke, the father of one of the boys upon whom the inquest
was held on Monday, was so much hurt a few days before the
present accident took place, in consequence of a stone falling
upon his head, that he was confined to his bed when his boys
were brought home on Saturday ; and they were so severely
burnt that scarcely a single portion of skin was left upon them. Chesterfield Advertiser.
Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock,
the greatest alarm was excited in Oxford-street, in conse-
quence of a cab being observed to progress along at a most
fearful rate, towards Holborn, while the driver, evidently in a
state of intoxication, was, with all the strength he was pos-
sessed of, lashing his horse, which kept crossing and recros-
sing the road to the imminent danger of foot and other pas-
sengers. The animal, which appeared to be a very high spi-
rited one, on arriving at Bond-street suddenly turned the
corner, and in doing so knocked down an elderly lady named
Wynvard, residing in King-street, Holborn, and who sus-
tained very severe injury on the temple. She was immedi-
ately removed in a state of insensibility to an adjacent house,
where a surgeon promptly attended, and rendered every as-
sistance in his power. By this time a great many persons
who bad witnessed the driver's reckless conduct followed the
vehicle, and called to the fellow to stop; but, instead of doing
so, he whipped his horse with increased violence, and on tarn-
ing into Piccadilly upset a child's four-wheeled carriage,
breaking it all to pieces, and throwing out two fine boys under
eight years of age, the sons of Mr. Martineau, a gentleman
residing in Pall mall, one of whom was severely bruised, but
the other fortunately escaped unhurt. The drunken driver,
who narrowly avoided running against other vehicles, at a
rapid rate, drove down St. James's-street, and contrived to
get clear off.
The "Royal Bruce," Manchester and London coach,
was overturned on Friday last near Buxton, in consequence of
one of the leaders taking fright and becoming unmanageable.
The passengers, we are happy to state, escaped without receiv-
ing any material injury. No blame attaches to the coachman.

We have received New Brunswick papers to the 24th July,
and Halifax papers to the 26th July. The New Brunswick
papers say :
" THE BOUNDARY LINE.—On this important subject we
have copied from the Boston Courier a short summary of the
correspondence between the British and American Ministers,
recently laid before Congress. It is high time this question
should be settled, for, besides the continual expense and pre-
sent unproductive state to either Power of a large tract of fine
country, we have some reason to fear, from the continued ex-
travagant proposals of the Americans, that eventually they
will only be satisfied with obtaining possession of the whole
province."

- " The weather has been most propitious for the crops,
which, we learn from various parts of the country, have im-
proved amazingly."

Last evening a numerous and highly respectable
party of gentlemen gave a splendid dinner at the Clarendon
Hotel to Mr. Stuart, the newly-appointed inspector of facto-
ries, on the occasion of his leaving town, to mark their esteem
for him as a private friend and a public man.—Mr. M'Culloch
was in the chair.
EMIGRATION.—On Friday, the ship Coromandel,
of 660 tons burden, Captain Chasser, was hauled out of the
St. Katharine's Dock for New South Australia. This large
ship takes from the shores of England upwards of one hundred
snd forty emigrants. The pier•head was crowded with the
friends of the emigrants, and many a farewell signal was ex-
changed between them.
A fact interesting to the antiquary has been elicited
on taking out the wooden keys which closed a fissure in the
base of the obelisk, to replace them with two other keys of
copper. They were completely corroded by the action of the
air and mosture, and there is every reason to believe that they
were inserted when the obelisk was first put up at Thebes, and
shows that, 4,000 years ago, the Egyptians were acquainted
with the powerful means of uniting two pieces of wood, now
used, and called dove-tailing.—Galignani.
Thursday last being our half-yearly sacramental fast
day, the shops were all shut as usual, and the various churches
open for public worship. Although the weather was far from
inviting, considerable numbers availed themselves of the op-
portunity to take excursions, and the steam-boats which left
this in the morning were, in consequence, thronged to excess.
—Greenock Advertiser.
It is obvious that the clergy and the more fanatical
of their adherents are determined to make a stand in support
of the disgraceful enactment that compels subscription of a
sectarian test by all teachers and professors in Scotland.--
Aberdeen Herald.
NEWS FOR GOURMANDS.—A cargo of a novel
description has just arrived at the London Docks—viz., a ship
load of turtle, which is selling on such moderate terms that
the humblest menage can avail themselves of it. It is not
generally known that turtle dressed as a hash, or simply as
cutlets, is a great delicacy. The same vessel has also on
board a live crocodile, of a hitherto undescribed species.
During one of the early persecutions of the Jews in
Poland, a decree passed the Diet prohibiting them from mar-
rying under 30 years of age. No sooner was the intention
intimated than the Jews made a point of having all their chil—
dren, even infants at the breast, married immediately, alleging
as their excuse, that many of the crowned heads of Europe
did the same.
EMIGRATION.—On Sunday the American line-of-
packet-ship President, Captain Chadwick, sailed from the St.
Katharine's Docks for New York, with a great number of emi.
grants, consisting of farm-servants, agricultural labourers, me-
chanics, tradesmen of small capital, and others, with a consi-
derable number of women and. children, who intend settling
in the United States and Canada. The President, on leaving
the Docks, was taken in tow by a steam-vessel, and immediately
proceeded down the river. A number of persons connected
with the adventurers witnessed their departure.
Two persons employed at the telegraph at Tours
were lately arrested. It is supposed that they are implicated
in some stock-jobbing affair, for which several of the clerks of
the Bourdeaux telegraph were arrested some days ago.—Bou-
logne Journal.
The Colchester Board of Guardians have received
a communication from the Poor-law Commissioners, stating
that they are not to allow the assistant overseers to grant
orders or otherwise to interfere with respect to the relief of
the poor, and that the assistant overseer must not be paid out
of the poor-rates. The Commissioners disapprove of the ap-
pointment of any assistant overseer in future.
RETURN OF CAPTAIN ROSS.—(Further Parti-
culars.) In addition to a statement as to the lamentable re-
sult of the fishing up to the time of the Cove leaving the ice,
we are enabled to furnish extracts from letters forwarded by
Captain Ross to the owners of the three whale ships from
this port, all of which agree in one material point--viz.,
the impracticability of the ships getting northward beyond
lat 71. The circumstance of the Governor of Upper
Annewick transporting a sledge over the ice a distance of
two or three hundred miles, as mentioned by Captain Leask,
shows that the ice, at least near the east land, is a compact
body. The main dependence of the whalers will, therefore,
be upon the fishing ground to the south and south-west, unless i
an opening s found to Baffin's Bay to the westward, and this
is not at all improbable, for the continued, strong westerly
winds early in the spring would have the effect of packing the
ice near the east land, and leaving an opening near the west.
If an opening to the north be found in that quarter, or a fa-
vourable change took place in the position of the ice, there is
plenty of time after the 19th of June to make good fishing,
and it may reasonably be hoped all will yet be well. We un-
derstand that the whalers generally were not in a better con-
dition, up to the same date, in the years 1829, 1832, and 1833.
What could have induced Captain Ross to return in the middle
of the summer, without having accomplished the object of his
voyage, we are at a loss to conceive. It is true the Cove was
chartered for six months only, and that after that period there
would be an additional expense; but what is that compared
with the saving of the men's lives, since it is possible, nay
probable, that some of them may yet survive. If the Govern-
ment gave Captain Ross no discretionary power, why then he
is not to blame ; but what precious blundering there must have
been at the Admiralty, if Captain Ross's instructions were to
look out for the lost ship for a certain time, and if he did not
find her within that given period, to return home. So far as
we can see at present, there was no necessity or motive, save
what might arise from the paltry pecuniary consideration, for
Captain Ross to leave the fishing ground so early in the sea-
son.—Newcastle Journal.
On Saturday night a horse was stolen from Mr.
Hargreaves, of Milton ; on the following morning the animal
was traced to Sunderland, a short distance from Lancaster,
where the thief was taken into custody. On Monday morning
he was taken before the Magistrate, committed to Lancaster
Castle, tried at the assizes the same day, and sentenced to
transportation for life. On his person was found 15/., a dis-
guise for his face, and a skeleton koy.
