SPANISH DONKEY-DRIVERS.

" The only cl,awback to the perfect enjoyment of this
lovely scene arose from the conduct of my guide, who
was much given to profane swearing, and unmerciful
usage of his burro.' On remonstrating with him in
regard to his cruelty, he chose to be offended, and
offered me advice in his turn :

Take care, Senor,' said he, how you interfere be-
tween a man and his donkey, which is just as bad as
interfering between a man and his wife; and if you do,
perhaps you may get the answer of Torquemada cast in
your teeth.'
"' What was that?' I inquired.
" Why it so happened that Torquemada was beating
his donkey very severely, when a courtier came by and
bade him be more merciful to his beast. " I shall do so
for the future," said Torquemada, "since I now find he is
a relation of yours from the interest you take in him."
Wasn't that well said, Senor?'
" Passing well fur a beater of donkeys.' "
SPANISH DANCING. _ _

" In Britain a quadrille is generally a solemn affair,
but here it is far worse; not because the performers feel
ill at ease during their saltatory exhibition, but from the
circumstance that the variety of difficult passages and
shakes to which they condemn their lower members is
such as can only be executed by means of much agility,
and the utmost concentration of their faculties to the one
purpose. Hence no dancers upon the tight-rope can
look more anxious and thoughtful than those in Spanish
ball-rooms when a quadrille is in progress."
The above extracts are illustrative of the manners
and peculiarities of the country. The more interest-
ing portions of the work, the legendary tales and
travelling adventures, are too long to be quoted here.

INTRODUCTORY LECTUREontheDUTIES
and REQUIREMENTS of BRITISH OF
FICERS, delivered at Hawaii College, Middle-
sex, on the 11th of October, 1849. By .1. 11.
Stocqueler, Esq., Military Examiner.
Mr. Stocqueler, a gentleman well known in the
military, political, and literary world, recently
delivered the above lecture to the students at
Ilanwell College, which is so excellently presided
over by the Rev. Dr. Emerson. In his opening
paragraph Mr. Stocqueler thus effectually disposes
of the nauseous charlatanisms of the paix a tout
prix sect .
" In commencing a series of lectures upon the Art of
War, and the profession of the Soldier, beneath the roof
of one whose mission is essentially peaceful, I feel it due
to him to premise that I enter upon the task in the full
conviction that there is nothing inconsistent with the
office of the pastor in the inculcation of a love of the
Military sciences. At the present moment there is a
great outcry in France, Belgium, England, and America,
upon the subject of war. Men are leagued together for
the purpose of endeavouring to provide a substitute for
the arbitr( talent of the sword, and war is denounced as
a cruel, absurd, and expensive method of arriving at
great public ends. It is impossible not to respect the
motives of these philanthropists, but I feel it more than
difficult to discover the utility of the agitation they have
commenced, or to assent to the propositions which form
the sequel to their leading argument. War is a great
curse,' say they.—Granted. ' It is the duty of (very
Christian to avoid, and put an end to war all over the
rld.'—Admitted. Abolish armies and navies, the
instruments of war, and you have taken the first great
step towards the extinction of the curse.'—There we join
issue. If armies and 11 eta were merely used for aggres-
sive purposes, the postulate would hold good; but, inas-
much as they are chiefly maintained as agents of national
defence, the argument goes for nothing. I grant that,
if the whole of the nations of the earth, civilized and
uncivilized, were simultaneously to lay down their arms
for over, human blood would cease to be shed in the
quarrels of mankind; but, since such a consummation is
impossible, we must repudiate the ideas of the Peace
advocates as perfectly Utopian. It would be manifestly
absurd for any single nation to disarm. As surely as it
did so, its neighbour would seek some pretext for a dis•
pute, and pounce upon the undefended soil. Before men
can afford to become entirely passive, human passions
must be annihilated. What is a nation but an aggre-
gate of individuals possessed of desires, hopes, fears?

Disregarding the injunctions contained in the Holy
Scriptures, one nation covets another's possessions—it
picks a quarrel as the first step towards acquisition. It
the owners of the coveted territory were not in a position
to repel the attempt at usurpation or robbery, what would
become of them? For instance, supposing Great Britain,
desirous of setting the whole world an example of Chris-
tian patience and forbearance, were to disarm her sol-
diers, break up her fleets and discharge her sailors, does
notoant other wbeerl,ionvinie
inthgstatFarnanocxet,entlsioolnlanodf,tßerursistoiary,
,or
wouldany
eirmoprimoeediately endeavour to possess themselves of our
colonies, it they did not try to establish an authority on
British soil? It would he preposterous to suppose them
so self-denying when no risk whatever would attend the
spoliation of their helpless neighbour. Hence the vast
importance to every country of an organized force capable
of resisting inovations and outrage, and of thereby
maintaining, through the fear and respect they inspire,
that peace which is at once the glory of civilization and
the condition of human life prescribed by Almighty
will. For nearly five-and-thirty years—more tt.an the
third of a century—England has been at peace herself
with the whole continent of Europe, and has been en-
abled, moreover, to command that other continental na
Lions should live in amity. How has this arisen? Simply
by the wonderful proofs she gave for twenty long years of
her ability to cope with the mightiest powers by sea and
I Ind, and by the lofty attitude she has since preserved.
In other words, by keeping up her noble army and her
magnificent navy in a state of preparation for any exi-
gency that might suddenly arise."

The lecture contains many admirable precepts which
cannot but be most useful in forming the characters of
those to whom they were addressed, as gentlemen and
men of honour.

RAIL WA Y IN TELL IGENCE.
AMIENS AND BOULOGNE.
A meeting of shareholders in this company was
held yesterday at the London Tavern to deliberate
upon a petition to the French Government ; Mr. C.
Lafiitte, the President of the Company, took the
chair.
The CHAIRMAN said, the position of the undertak-
ing had been considerably altered since the time the
concession was granted by the French Government.
The company had not been paid a fair return for their
outlay, and Government, by granting a coneession to
the Northern Company, had taken away from this
company certain advantages upon which the promo-
ters relied for a fair return on the capital. They
must therefore look to the Government to compensate
them for what they had taken away. The financial
state of France, although improved, was not such as
to make railway property remunerative. Differences
had arisen between the Northern Company and the
Boulogne Company, and endeavours had been made to
bring about an amicable settlement, but without
effect. They were compelled to go to law with the
Northern Company, and the matters in dispute went
before the Tribunal of Commerce ; the Judge recom-
mended an amicable arrangement, but after a vain
endeavour it led to no result, and he was not aware
what decision the Judge would come to on the sub-
ject. They had every reason to believe that their
case was a just one, and that they would gain the suit.
The directors had tried to obtain from the Govern-
ment an amelioration of the concession, and they pro-
posed to memorialize them on the subject. lie then
called on Mr. Whitehead to read the memorial they
proposed to present to the President and Ministers
of the Republic.
Mr. WHITEHEAD proceeded to read the memorial,
which was of considerable length. It referred to the
understanding upon which the concession was granted
and accepted, so as to place the eompany in a position
to raise the whole of the capital required for the un-
dertaking. At the time there were some doubts en-
tertained of the concession being sufficient, although
it was assumed that the money to make the line
would be found by private individuals. The conces-
sion for the Northern of France line was not then
granted. The Amiens and Boulogne Company first
commenced their line, and it was understood that their
interests were to be protected. The very clause for
that purpose inserted in the Northern concession had
led to law proceedings, and they were suffering con-
siderably from the conduct of the Northern Company.
The Amiens Company, in fact, were not protected by
that clause. The memorial then goes on to state that
the position of the company would have been very
different had it been granted under the law of 1842,
because in that case three-fifths of the whole capital
would have been paid by the State. It then mentions
the various concessions granted under the law of
1842 for lines having a very superior traffic
to the Amiens and Boulogne ; among these
lines were the Paris and Orleans, in
the shape of a guarantee of interest; to the
Rouen Company, by a loan of 18,000,000 f.; to the
Havre Company, by a grant of 8,000,000 f. and a loan
of 10,000,000 f.; to the companies of the Central of
France, of Strasburg, of Orleans and Bordeaux, of
fours and Nantes, by putting three-fifths of the
cost of construction to the charge of the State,
and to the Avignon'. and Marseilles Company, by
a grant of 30,000,0001, and a guarantee of
interest on an equal SUM. The Government
has just proposed to grant the Paris and Avig-
non Rail aay to a company, together with a
grant of 180,000,000/, and a guarantee of interest on
240,000,0001. (9,600,0001.). None among them is
situated in such circumstances of competition as must
ever exist between the Northern and the Boulogne
Companies. By granting the further extension of the
Northern line to Calais, &c., the Amiens and Bou-
legne line had been injured, and therefore it became
necessary to call on the State for a modification of the
concession. The cost of the line was 37,500,000 E,
and if their concession had been granted under the
law of 1842, the shareholders whould have had only
to subscribe 15,000,0001. (600,0001.), and the State
the remainder, 22,500,000 E (900,0001.). It was on
this amount the memorialists requested to have a
minimum dividend granted to the company. The
whole of the works had been executed with great
care, and within the original estimate.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the object was to in-
duce the Government to guarantee the company a
minimum interest on three-fifths of the capital, so as
to place the company on a footing with those lines
conceded under the law of 1842. He said that if any
of the proprietors could suggest a better plan than
that proposed, the board would be glad to adopt it.
'They were anxious to meet the wishes of the share-
holders, and he hoped the latter would give the di-
rectors their support to go before the French Go-
vernment.
Mr. BAXENDALE, a director, remarked that this
company had not expended more than 37,500,000 f.
(1,500,0001.), the original estimate. They had not
doubled their capital, as other companies had, but had
kept within the original estimate. All the money had
been expended, and the works were completed, with
the exception of a comparatively small work at Abbe-
ville. Every effort was made to settle matters with
the Northern of France Company. The French Go•
vernment were anxious to get capital to make their
lines of railway, and unless they treated English
shareholders in a considerate and liberal manner it
was not likely that English capital would go to
France. The English shareholders had already a
sufficient dose in their own railways without going
to France to be treated worse. If the French Go-
vernment look to this country for capital, they must
be guided by honesty and justice in their transac-
tions with those who supply it, otherwise no one can
have confidence that his property will be safe in France.
The CHAIRMAN observed, that if the Government
had paid up or guaranteed them an interest of 5 per
cent. on three-fifths of the capital, they would have
been able to pay to the shareholders 44 per cent. on
the money expended, the traffic on the line having
produced 1k percent. The interest mentioned would
give 3 per cent. on the whole capital, and the 1 per
cent. from the traffic would make up the 4i. per cent.
lie then put the first resolution—to the effect that the
memorial be presented to the President and Ministers
of the Republic of France by the Paris administra-
tion, for the purpose of obtaining a modification of
the concession.
The resolution was seconded and carried unani-
mously, as was also the second resolution, to the
effect that the Amiens and Boulogne Company be
placed in the same position as if the concession were
granted under the law of 1842.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to questions, stated that
the concession of the Northern of France line was for
38 years, that they were seeking for an extension of
the term to 99 years, but in order that they should
pay something for it the Government intended to
stipulate that they should make a certain branch line.
The Amiens and Boulogne Company proposed to
place themselves between the Northern Company and
the Government, and thus endeavour to obtain the
necessary modifications in the Amiens and Boulogne
concession before anything is granted to the Northern
Company.
On the third resolution being proposed a long dis-
cussion ensued ; it was considered to be too favourable
to the Northern Company; but, having gone through
various modifications, it was passed by a large ma-
jority, to the effect that they have heard that the
Northern Company have made application to the
French Government for an extension of their lease,
and that they would offer no objection to such a
measure, provided that the concession to the Amiens
and Boulogne Company be acceded to them.
Mr. BAXENDALE said the Northern Company had
done all they could to injure the Amiens and Bou-
logne Company. He thought that common sense
would point out that the saving of 66 miles by
passing over the Boulogne line between London and
Paris would decide in favour of that route. lie was
not disposed to give up a single point, with regard to
the utility of the line, to the Northern or any other
company.
A. PROPRIETOR said, if they were to be placed in
the same position as under the law of 1842, the
Government ought to give them the interest on the
three-fifths of their capital, or return to the share-
holders the 22,500,000 f. (900,0001.) paid by them.
A VOICE—Then you must be content with a short
lease.

^~~T

M. ADAM said there could be no doubt that
___; ,
according to the law of 1842, they would have 4i per :,;--1,-jf-i?,!;- °
cent. from the traffic. He was disposed to support c„,,,14,i,-..:- 4

cent. on the 900,0001. should be an absolute.z”ar,antee_j ;

company having paid the whole of the money. . 'I ..thr
The CHAIRMAN said the board thought tha tit was
a better proposition than that which they had made,
and they would adopt it in their memorial.
Mr. FISHES, thought the present a favourable
opportunity to get up a petition to the English Go-
vernment to send the mails by the Boulogne and
Amiens route.

k

Af:er some conversation a resolution was unani-
mously passed, that a memorial be presented to the
English Government, signed by the proprietors and
the public, praying that the mails be sent by the
Boulogne route, and appointing Messrs. 'Wright,
Ivyleaf, and Fisher to carry the resolution into effect,
and placing at their di:posal 201. to pay expenses.
The CHAIRMAN then entered into sonic details with
regard to working the line. He stated that the
construction of the railway cost 1,500,0001, being at
the rate of 19,500/. per mile for the 77 miles. They
ran ten trains a day, and 20,000 miles per month.
The cost was 3s. I Id. per mile, including direction and
everything, or 4,0001. per month. If they had twice
or three times the traffic it would not cost them any
more for working the line. It cost them 100/. per
mile per annum to maintain the way. They had 100
level crossings, vs hich cost them 4,3001. per annum
for attendance. They were, however, going to have
them attended to by women, by which they expected to
save a considerable sum. The cost of traction amounted
to Is. 7d. per mile ; the coke cost them 1/. per ton,
and the consumption was at the rate of 201 b. per mile
run. There are ten stoppages on the line; and the
distance, 77 miles, is performed in three hours, being
at the rate of 26 miles per hour including stoppages.
The sinking fund is not included in the 4,0001. per
month.

In reply to questions, it was stated that the shares
numbered from 1 to 6,000 were promised a guarantee
of 4 per cent. per annum from the city of Boulogne,
which is due with regard to those shares. The
directors had nothing to do with them. The question
lay between the holders of these shares and the
municipal council. Proceedings could not be taken
against the city of Boulogne without the consent of
the Government.

M. ADAM was mayor of Boulogne when the town
council agreed to guarantee the shares, and he was
instrumental in obtaining it; he had 400 shares
allotted to him, which he has held ever since. M.
Fontaine, the present mayor, is a director in this
company, and holds 600 of the guaranteed shares.
The municipal corporation say that they are not bound
by law to pay it. It was the opinion of M. Adam
that they were bound to pay the guarantee. About
two thirds of the shares of the company were held in
England.

A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors
concluded the proceedings.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN.
SIR,—I am sure you are quite aware of the de-
moralizing effects of public executions, and the nume-
rous evils attending on them, and that if any remedy
ceuld be proposed, it ought to be adopted.
It appears by your paper of this evening, a letter
was addressed by Mr. Dickens to the editor of the
Times, which called forth the animadversions of that
journal in a leading article, which I shall not observe
upon.
Mr. Dickens says it was the intention of the Go-
vernment " to give its support to a measure making
the infliction of capital puunlment a private solemnity
within the prison walls."
I think this could be adopted so as to do away with
all objections, viz.—the convicted criminal (of course
after an open trial) should be executed within the
court-yard of the gaol, in the presence of the proper
officials that now attend ; and also that the judges and
the jury who tried and convicted the prisoner should
be required to attend, and sign their names as wit-
nesses to the execution of the criminal. Such document
so signed could then be published in the newspapers,
and would be a sufficient guarantee to the public.
This would not only diminish the evil of public
executions, but also "extreme " punishment.—l am,
Sir, your most obedient servant,
A SUBSCRIBER.
London, Nov. 14.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—The impartiality which you, at all times,
have shown to the persecuted ones, without taking in
consideration which rank in society they held, en-
courages me to request you will give publicity to
these lines.

My late father was Dr. Frederick Bran, at Jena,
editor of the Illinerva, &c. I am a German exile,
and have resided in this country without interruption
since the 13th of June, 1842.
In Germany I never, gave displeasure to any one
of the thirty-four Sovereigns or their respective Go-
vc3rntnents whatsoever, and have never in my life been
before a police-court.
I moved always in the best society, and cared at
that time nothing about politis, being very ignorant,
as most Germans were at tlat time, in that respect;
as the press in that country is not free.
I thought fit, as many other Germans have done, to
obtain a passport for the United States of America
from the Saxe Weimer Government, but having
arrived at Ilarnburgh on the 4th of INlay, 1842, the
very day on which the great fire broke out, I lost the
greater part of my money by thieves, and was ad-
vised by my frien3s to go to England.
In 1844 I wanted to return to Germany, and de-
sired Baron Gersdorf, at that time Minister resident
from Saxony to the Court of St. James's, to give me
a passport to that effect.

.He refused, saying—" You are yet very young, and
had better go to America; I must not let you go
back to Germany."
I wrote to the Saxe Weimar Government, remind-
ing it that I never had given complaint, and that my
late father not only had paid a large amount of duty to
Government, but had given employment to many,
and had even several times been visited by the late
Grand Duke himself; but if that even had not been the
case, they had no right to banish any man from his
native country without cause.

I was answered, that, according to a report from
the police at Jens, they did not consider it wise to per-
mit me to return.

I applied again in strong terms, but received no
answer.

Thus foreigners are thrown, against their will,
upon the English shores and hospitality.
Exasperated at such tyranny, I began in 1846 to
write poems, in which I asserted that one crowned
head was quite enough for any country, and that
the Germans before all things ought to have liberty
of the press, and freedom of speech.
Several German diplomatists and priests, residing
in London, have since persecuted me, by command of
their Governments, and used all possible means in
their power secretly to ruin my character and to de-
stroy me.

The magistrate at Jena was commanded by tho
Weimar Camarilla to make my venerable mother
appear at his office, and was obliged to ask her,
what I, her son, was doing at London, to which
question she of course replied—that she did not
know what I was doing.
Letters, which are duly posted and paid for in
Germany, I receive only if they are sent under cover
to a merchant in the City.—l am, sir, yours, &c.

WESTERN LITERARY INSTITUTION.--THE GLEE
CONCERTS.—The seventh concert of this series took
place on Monday evening, and we must say the im-
provement that has taken place since their establishment
is marked and decided. Part I. consisted of a selection
from Handers serenata of Adis and Galatea, iu which
was introduced " Oh, the pleasures of the plains;"
" Hush, ye pretty warbling choir;" " Happy we;" " Oh,
ruddier than the cherry," which elicited an encore, and
many other pieces, which were each given in a style
worthy of the great composer. We had also a duo con-
certante for treble concertinas, on airs from Lucrezia
Borgia, very beautifully executed by Mr. A. Sedgwick
and Mr. E. Barton. The Second Part opened with a
grand fantasia on the pianoforte by Mr. H. S. May, in-
troducing the following arias from Mozart's La Clonenza
di Tito :—Duetto, "Ah I perdona; aria, " Parto ma
to ben mio;" resit. " Ohl
.Dei the smania;" quintetto,
" Deh conservate oh Dei; and concluding with the
" Cat's Fugue," by Scarlatti. Then followed a solo on
the violin by Mr. Griesbach. It would be injustice did
wo omit to mention the tasteful manner in which Miss
liemble gave the song " The Cavalier ;" it was beautiful
indeed, and was loudly applauded. The members of the
institution must consider themselves under deep obliga-
tion to their talented managing director, Mr. Malcolm,
for the excellent manner in which these concerts have
been presented to them.
MEDICAL REFORM.—A meeting of the members of
the National Institution of Medicine, Surgery, and Mid-
wifery was held last night, at the Hanover-square
Booms, to take into consideration the best means of
obtaining the redress of the grievances which the great
body of the profession suKr from the exclusive consti-
tution of the College of Surgeons, and the propriety of
seeking the incorporation of the general practitioners.
The meeting was of a preliminary and private character.
A deputation was appointed to wait on the council of
the college with a statement of claims; and it was far-
ther resolved, that in the event of an unsatisfactory
reply, the deputation should wait on Sir George Grey
with a memorial, praying the immediate incorporation
of the general practitioners in a separate college.
EXTRAORDIIIARY DISPATCH.--A coil of copper
wire, 12,200 feet long, was delivered at the Gutta Percha
Company's works, City-road, at 4 P.M., on Monday, the
19th, to be covered with sulphuretted gutta percha for
the Prussian Government, with strict injunction that it
must be dispatched by the Hamburgh mail on the fol-
lowing day. Notwithstanding this short notice the ex-
traordinary feat was accomplished, the coil being shipped
within 24 hours of its arrival.

THE THIRD DRAGOON GUARDS.—ANOTHER OUT.
BREA(.—We regret to state that another very serious
military offence has been committed by a numbet of
men belonging to this regiment, a troop of which
were stationed at Lougl.borough, a small town in
Leicestershire, about fourteen miles from the head-
quarters of the regiment at Nottingham. On
Wednesday an order was received from Lord Cathcart,
the Colonel of the regiment, ordering the men to return
to barracks at 20 minutes past eight o'clock, (the same
as the infantry corps), instead of at nine o'clock, the
hour at which cavalry troops aro allowed to stay out,
the additional 40 minutes being allowed them as a
sort of compensation for their stable work. This
command created a very unpleasant sensa-
tion amongst the troop ; and not more
than eight or nice mon obeyed it, the bulk of the re-
mainder staying till nine, and about a d. z m not returning
then. At a late hour three of these surrendered, and were
placed in the guard-house; but on the next day, havint
peen told by their comrades that they would be tri,d by
court martiul,they suddenly knocked down the corporal of
the guard, upset the sentry, and took to their heels.
S ) unexpected was this demonstration, that its success
was pet feet, and they got clear away. On Friday, how-
•ver, information as to their whereabnit was obtained,
'ad a picket of 18 men, who were sent after them
.pocry eff cted their capture. They ware
seat to N ttingham on Monday, to await, as it is
,uppo-,ed, t ieir trial by court martial. Li ut .nant-
C 'lonel A. t tur visited Loughborough on Friday ,Qt
to
inveitigate the occurrence. The sentences on Knox,
Ball, and Butterworth, who were convicted at Not-
tingham of various offences arising out of the late
scapade in that town, have not yet been received.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 21, 1849.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

CLERK.ENWELL.
George Clarke, a boy of reqpctable appe'Jrance
and connexionF, about 14 years of age, reiding with
his parents, Kirby-street, Hatton-garden, appeared
bt fore Mr. Combe, pursuant to his bail, for final exa-
ination, charged with having stabbed and wounded
harks Butti, aged about 14 years, son of Mr. C.
Butti, picture-frame manufacturer, of Hatton-garden,
with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm.
The injured boy appeared in court with his face
bound up with adhesive plaister and a handkerchief.
The particulars of the case have very briefly been
stated, and it may be recollected that he was unable
to attend the first examination to give evidence, in
consequence of the injuries he had received. He now
appeared, and said that on Monday night, the 12th
inst., he was near his father's residence, where he was
playing with some other boys, who asked the prisoner
to join them in a game which he declined, on which
they threatened to give him (prisoner) the " laws of
his country," when he took a penknife from his pocket
and making a rush at him (witness) stabbed him in
the face.
Mr. COMBE inquired the meaning of giving him
the laws of his country ?
It would appear from the reply that when any boy
refused to join in any game he subjected himself to
the infliction of sundry kicks, &c., from his com-
panions.

Mr. Comm—And pray did you kick him ? Wit-
ness—Yes; but another boy kicked him twice. I was
going to kick him.
The prisoner's father here said he was a boy of
weak in:ellect.

A certificate from a surgeon was produced, which
stated the prosecutor to be out of danger.
A boy here said that Butti kicked the prisoner,
when the latter took the knife from his pocket and
stabbed him (Butti), who bled very much, and he was
taken to a doctor's.

Mr. CONIBB—Did the prisoner open the knife after
he took it out of his pocket? Witness answered in
the affirmative.

Mr. COMBE—Did he say anything at the time?
Witness—No.

Another boy was called, who gave confirmatory
evidence in raerence to the threat to give the pri-
soner " the laws of his country" if he did not join
in the game, and the parties kicking prisoner, but he
flatly contradicted the other portions of the evidence
fur the prosecution. Master Clarke, he said, had the
knife in bis hand, cutting his nails, when the boys
commenced kicking him. When Butti was about to
kick him, be made a blow at him with his right
hand, and the knife was used without any intention
to do injury, and the wound was accidentally in-
flicted. When Butti was taken to the doctor's,
Master Clarke went there to ascertain if any injury
had beeadone.

Mr. Butti, the injured boy's father, said he had
heard that the prisoner had used the knife similarly
before.

Itr. Clarke denied the truth of such statement.

Mr. CoMBE, after attentively listening to the case,
was induced to believe it to have been accidental, and
discharged the prisoner, leaving Mr. Butti to indict at
the sessions if he thought proper.

FRANCE.

The Opinion Publique says :—" Several eminent
personagt's have gent their cards to M. Guir)t, who
arrived in Paris from Val Richer on Friday last. M.
Guizot will remain in Paris all the winter. It is
said that in the bE,ginning of January next a journal
will appear, edited by the ex President of the Council
of King Louis Philippe. It is not yet known whether
the journal will be daily, or whether it will appear in
the form of a review."

M. Pierre Bonaparte has addressed the following
letter, dated Paris, the 18th, to the Patrie :—" The
remarks more or less unjust or malevolent in some
of the journals on my return induce me to request
that you will insert the following. Without speaking
of the convoys that I have escorted though the hostile
parties, I did not quit the camp of Zaatcha, where I
remained a week, until after having commanded
the attack of Oct. 25, and having been in the
trenches the 24th, 25th, 28th, and 29th. General d'Her-
billon having decided that no more assaults should be
made, and that reinforcements should be waited for
to invest the place and reduce it by artillery, the
adoption of this plan prolo- ged the operations far
beyond the term which even before my departure
from Paris I had fixed for my return to the Na-
tional Assembly. As a representative of the people, I
was the sole judge of the proper time for returning
to my post, and on this subject I have no account
to give to any person. The political changes
which have just taken place prove that I have not
been a very bad judge of the period. I had, besides,
reason to be dissatisfied with the position created for
me in Africa by the absence of any proper order.
I did not, however, quit Zaatcha without the formal
order of General d'Herbillon to proceed to the
Governor-General to press the arrival of the rein•
forcements which he expected, and it was because I
met them on my road that I returned direct to
Philippeville without passing by Algiers."
The Ordre, alluding to the arrival of M. Pierre
Bonaparte in Paris, says—" As the report was cir-
culated that Commandant aniaparte had left Algeria
precipitately on the eve of an action in which an
occasion would have been offered him to sigualise
himself, and as, on the other hand, his intre-
pidity is well known, all kinds of conjectures
have been formed as to the cause of his sudden
departure. That he may have been the bearer of
dispatches, or has come to make known the posi-
tion of our troops in presence of the Kabyles is pos-
sible, although, under the circumstances which are
mentioned, highly improbable. The opinion which
is generally entertained is, that on receiving at the
camp before Zaatcha the famous message of the Pre-
sident of the Republic, he considered that a struggle
was imminent, and hastened to Paris to fulfil his
duties as a representative. It is positively stated, that
on his arrival, he will receive orders to return imme-
diately to his post."
We read in the Ordre—" We have received from
Constantina the details of an engagement which took
place near Zaatcha. Commandant Pierre Bonaparte
had been sent with a battalion, composed of
companies of the Foreign Legion and Zephyrs, to
dislodge the Arabs from a clump of palm trees,
where they had fixed themselves. The Arabs
having opposed a strong and persevering
resistance, the combat was long and in-
veterate. Ammunition becoming scarce on both
sides, Commandant Pierre Bonaparte with a dozen
men was surrounded by a large body of Arabs, against
whom he and his small band,' maintained themselves
with the greatest energy. He was aimed at by an
Arab whom he shot down by firing at him his car-
bine, which he had kept loaded. The Arabs then
fled, after throwing at these intrepid soldiers a quan-
tity of bricks which were at hand. Our soldiers were
then able to rejoin the corps of the expedition."

INDlGO.—Former terms are well sustained for East
Indi 1, and sales to a fair extent have been made for
home consumption and export; on the part of holders
there is also firmness. For Spanish the demand has
been steady at former terms.
COCHINEAL is wanted, and former rates are well sup-
ported; low to fine Honduras silvers selling at from

TALLOW.—Prices have not improved for Russian

been good; holders also are firm, and obtain 37s to
37s 3d for fine P.Y.C. Purchases to a fair extent
are reported for delivery up to the close of the
year at 36s 6d to 375, and for the early part of
1850 at 37s 3d to 37s 6d ; at these terms there
are not free sellers. Home melted has been in ex-
cellent
demand at 37s not cash, still the supply is
plentiful. Of other kinds of Tallow large parcels con-
tinue to be pressed for sale, yet former terms are sus-
tained. At public auction 69 casks Petersburgh Soap
were sold at 34s 61 to 34, 9d; 97 pkgs Galata 34s to 355;
49 casks Cape 38s to 39s 6d ; 990 casks Sydney low to

declared. The value of Rough Fat is still 23 Id per stone.
OlLS.—There. has been rather more demand for Cocoa

being large supplies. Of 340 casks offered at suction a
small pert only sold at from 32s to 3.5 s for mid to fine.
Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Olive, and
the market looks firm; Gallipoli is held for 441 lOs to 451,
Spanish and Sicily 431 to 441, Barbary, Levant,.and Per.

there are several buyers, whilst the rates paid have
been 32s to 32s 6d per cwt for fine quality. Of
Rapeseed Oil the supply continues small, and
prices rule high; pale selling at 42s to 43s brown
41s to 414 6d, and refire d Foreign at 44s to
44s 6d; there are sellers fur delivery rather under these

trade purposes, and export orders are still falling off.
There are Fellers on the spot at 28s to 28s 3d

much reduced, arid as there are several buyers
prices keep on the advance, sales having been made at
31/ 10s to 321. Some parcels of Greenland have been
sold at 33/ 103 to 351. Seal is not much in demand, and

ness ruled generally. The supply of wheat was not so
large as usual, and may be called fully is per quarter

readily or so high in price as last week. Beans and peas
in cm al supply. There was some considerable quantity
of malt on sale, but no buyers found.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 20 —Our supplies from Ireland and
coastwise during thi past week have been liberal of oat-
meal and flour, but small of wheat and oats. Frcm
foreign per:s ar d Canada, with the exception of a fair
quantity of whes. t and Itriian corn, the arrivals are only
in,derate. The exports in the same time show a slight
in, reuse. The trade has been extremely languid, arid
to have made any progress with sales of wheat cud fl ,ur
lower 1r cos must ;lave been submitted to. Oats nut
coming f ,rward so freely, and being in fair request, bare
advanc, did per 451 b. Judie!' corn has sustained a fur-
ther decline of 6d per qusrler, with a very limited sale.
Ac this eay's market there was a moderate attendance of
town and country buyers, and a very limited demand
was experienced for Irish new wheat at a decline of fully
2d per 701 b. For inn red wheat met with little atten-
tion, and must be quoted Id per bushel lower, but some
newly arrived Dantzic of good quality met with a ready
sale at prices ranging from 7s Id to 7s 4d per 701 b.
Oa's wire held for id per 451 b advance, being scarce,
but ,little business resulted. Oatmeal was without
change, as were barley, beans, and peas. Flour was an
exceedingly slow sale, and 6i per sack and barrel lower
Indian corn moved off in retail, at a decline of 61 to is
per 4801bs.
LEEDS, Nov. 20. —The dull account from Mark lane
yesterday has paralysed the wheat trade here to-day,

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHBS'FEIL, TUESDAY.—
The flatness in the Liverpool cotton-market yesterday
and to day has bad a sympathetic effect in this market.
The demand to-cay has been limited fir both cloth and
yarn, but prices are firm on the part of all large pro-
ducers, and the opinion that the higher range of rates
now prevailing must be continued rather gains ground.
It is seen that the low prices rulin4 at this period of last
year aro no criterion for the future. Then revolutions,
dear food, and money with declining confidence, were
all arrayed against us ; now the reverse is the fact.
Heavy cloths, which have been so long depressed'
have since our last been more inquired for, and seem
likely to mend. The extraordinary increase in the
production of these articles last year has been much
against the producers in a rising market, as every
buyer would reduce his stock to the utmost. There
is nothing new with regard to the American cotton
crop. Es imates still range fr.,ra 1,800,000 to
2,200,000 bales. It is said a " killing frost" had
passed over a considerable extent. of the country. Pric,-s
in New York were up to lof a cent. The hands in the
manufacturieg diatric-s are pretty fully employed, and
must be doing well, considering the low price of both
food and clothing.

HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Return.) •
The deaths from all causes, registered in the me-
trorlitan dis'ricts in the week ending last Saturday,
were 878. This number exhibits a decrease of 284
deaths on the weekly average of five previous autumns,
corrected for increase of population ; and the returns
of the last ten years show that the present low rate
of mortality is without example (w ithin the period
of observation) at this advanced season of the year,
unless the year 1841 must be excepted-, when the
deaths returned in the corresponding week were 827,
but out of a population undoubtedly less than at the
present time. The mortality in the early part of
November has usually ranged from 900 to upwards
of 1,200 deaths. The deaths registered last week
from the zymotic or epidemic class of diseases were
only 204, while the average is 307 ; those from
diseases of the respiratory organs (exclusive of
phthisis) were 134, while the average is 214. But
the mortality from phthisis (or consumption), at.d
bronchitis seems to increase, and is now about
the average ; and influenza was fatal to
four young persons and an adult. The deaths from
diarrhoea and dysentery in the week were 22, which is
about the same as in &ruler years at this season.
Those in the last four weeks have been successively
51, 40, 29, 22. From cholera eight deaths were
registered, or two more than the preceding week ;
but in two cases the persons died of disease conse-
quent on cholera, from which they had previously
suffered. One of the eight deaths occurred in Hol-
land Cottages, St. John's, Westmicster; one in
Earl-street, Lisson• grove, Marylebone ; one in King's
College Hospital (the patient having been brought
from Drury- lane); one in St. John-street, Clerken-
well ; one in Green, walk, Bermondsey ; one in Lam-
beth; one in York place, South Lambeth ; and one in
Nightingale-vale, Woolwich. A boy of six years died
of diarrhcei, after 52 hours' illness, in Frederick-
street, Bromley, an over-crowded t.nd dirty neigh-
bourhood, where cholera lately was rife.
The mean height of the barometer in the week
was 29 863. The mean daily height was above 30
inches on Sunday, Monday, and Saturday. The
mean temperature of the week was 45.2 degrees ; :on
Saturday it was 39 3 degrees. It was above the
average of the same days of !even years on the first
four days, and below it during the rest of the week.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.—At nine o'clock on Monday
morning Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Plough,
Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, on John Thomas
Wildman, a stockbroker, late of 40, Shaftesbury-street,
New North-road, Hoxton, aged 48. Mr. Benjainin
Wildman, deceased's brother, deposed that deceased bad
been a stockbroker. On Friday he saw deceeseil in
King's College Hospital, suffering from the injuries of
whic he died. Mr. George Elsom, house surgeon,
stated that deceased was brought to the hospital between
two and three o'clock on Friday morning. His thigh"
bone was fractured, his scalp on the left side was 11103'
rated, and he was the worse for liquor. The police said
he had fallen from the second-floor window of Collivcr's
coffee-house, Hulywell-street. Deceased stated that be
lived in the New North-road ; but when interrogated
as to the manner in which he met with the injuries he
became morose and silent. He lingered until Saturdsf
morning, when he died from exhaustion, the result of
the shock and fracture. Mrs. Sarah Colliver, landlady
of the coffee-house, said the deceased, accompanied by
a young man, came to her house shortly after tee,
o'clock on Thursday night. He was quite sober, and ban
some coffee and toast. After reading he and his friend
retired to bed on the second-floor. About two' o'clocit.
the following morning she was awoke by a crash, Ana
found the deceased bad fallen from the window into the
street, where be lay dressed, bleeding and insensible. Dr
ceased's friend rushed out of the house in his shirt, ea'
claiming, " Oh, my God, my friend has thrown himself
out of the window; I'll go and tell his friends:" 01
soon afterwards dressed himself, started off again, and
was not since heard of. Neither witness nor deceasetre
friends knew the young man, nor anything about him'
Deceased frequented her house. Mr. M. F. King, re•
siding in the coffee-house, corroborated the last witness.
Police-constable Cribb, 132 F, raised deceased from the
ground, and with assistance carried him to the hoipital.
While doing so deceased frequently exclaimed,,"
God, what mystery is this? What ',have I done?" .116
was quite stupid from the fall, and had been drinking'
Miss Wildman, deceased's sister, entered the icqueo;
room at this stage of the proceedings in a distracted
state, and was with the greatest difficulty calmed and
induced to retire. Her appearance affected to tesrg
every one present. Tho Coroner summed up, and con'
eluded by expressing his unwillingness to close the in'
quiry until the young man who was last in company
with deceased was produced. The jury fully agreed
with the Coroner, who ordered the police to search for
the youns man. He then adjourned the inquiry.
RIPRESRNTATION OF SHOREIIAX—A vacancy ho
I,een caused in the representation of the berough_,°,
Shoreham and rape of Bramber by the death of All;
Charles Goring. Mr. Goring had been suffering for
some con,iderable time from an attack of typhus level
at his seat, Wiston-park, near Steyning, in the rape ;1,
Bramber; but he was recovering, when he was suddenly
seized with a relapse, of which he died on Sunday eveei
ing. He was only thirty-two years of age, and bay
scarcely passed his honeymoon. He succeeded his nee'
sin, the present Sir Harry Dent Goring, in the rare;
sentation of the borough, twice defeating Lord Edwari
Howard, son of the Duke of Norfolk, and prole,
Member for Horsham. He was a Conservative and
:
Protectionist. The representation is one of the Pee:
liars of the Reform Act, the burgesses of Shorehe'"
and the freeholders of the rape being conjoined to 10
the constituency.

cast An it, surface faithfully, only while unsullied.'"
