PPP WIC LONDON, SATURDA.Y, JUNE 164 [Ali,

diate preparations were made for forming a garrison at Mas-
cara, and two half -batteries of reserve and field artillery were put
up, and a sufficient number of gunners left to man them. The
route taken by. the army, on its return to Mostaga-
nem, is described as the worst in Africa ; and, es
a proof of this, it is stated that the rear guard,
being attacked by 5,000 or 600 Arabs, it was impossi-
ble to give any support to it on account of the narrowness of
the pass. The rear-guard, however, commanded by General
Levasseur, and composed of two battalions of the 6th and 13th
light infantry, and a battalion of the 41st -of the line, with
some field artillery, bore the contest alone with great courage
and effect. In this affair, -which cost the enemy the loss of
400 men, 7 chiefs, and a great number of horses, the French
had only 10 men killed, and one officer, Sub-Lieutenant Ra-
chats, of the 6th light infantry, and 54 wounded. All the dead
and wounded were removed, so that not a man remained in the
hands of the Arabs. The total loss of the French in this cam-
paign, up to their return to Mostaganem, was 20 killed and 85
wounded. Id an affair on the way to Tekedempt, the French
made seven prisoners. The despatch adds that the general
health of the troops was good, and that the total number of sick
in the field hospitals was 20d, including 5 officers. The cavalry
found abundant forage in the standing crops of wheat and
barley. General Bugeaud, who announces that he was ac-
tively preparing to renew the campaign on the 7th or Bth, and,
after praising the conduct of the different corps composing the
expedition, mentions numerous officers as hav►ng distinguished
themselves by their courage and zeal on different occasions.
Among them we find thg names of Lieutenant-Colonel Ca-
vaignac of the Zouaves, General Boyer, Aide-de-Camp of the
Duke de Nemours, Lieutenant-Colonels Despinoy and Renaud,
Chef-de. Bataillon Walsin Esterhazy, Gen. Lamoriciere. Colo-
nels Roguet, Tampour, Lafeille, and Randon. The General also
notices with honour Drs. Baudens, Saiget, and Viel, and also in
a particular manner the Abbe Stalter (sent by the Bishop of
Algeria to accompany the army as chaplain). The Governor-
Gen. adds, " The Duke de Nernours has been all that a Prince
of illdatrious race ought to be—to the army an example, and
stimulant to all. Gun. Lamoriciere rendered the greatest ser-
vices in making the preparations for war, proving that the im-
portant details of organisation and administration may be com-
bined with ardour and courage, which he displayed on every
occasion. General Muetapha Ben Ismael executed a buil-
li4nt charge on June Ist, in driving the Arabs from the defile
into which we were entering, and was well supported by El-
Mezary, Cadour lien Moafy, and Mohammed Ben Cadour,
causing many of the enemy's regular cavalry to bite the
dust. Colonel Delarue did not leave me for a single mo-
ment, except to join in any action in which the troops of his
friend General Lamoriciere happened to be engaged. M de
Corcelles, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, accompa-
nied the column, and was present at all the engagements.
In this march of eighty leagues, he was able to Corm
opinions as to Africa. It would be desirable if other Mem-
bers of both Chambers could have. seen what he was. M. de
Tocqueville, brother of the Deputy, and formerly an officer in
tie army, showed that he had not lost the ardour of his old
profession. He joined in all the combats of the rear-guard,
and on the flanks, and gave reason to regret that he was no
longer in the rank. of the army."
The Moniteur Parisien publishes a decree of the Governor-
General, dated 30th ult., to the effect that all the inhabitants
of 3laseara, and those within a radius of 24,000 metres from
the town, who do not return to their residences there within
a month, are to lose all right to their several properties, which
are to be joined to the domains of the State. Another decree
orders 30 hectares of ground (75 acres) to be allotted per
regiment to all troops established in permanent camps.
The fellowing Order of the Day was issued at Mostaganem,
on the sth inst. :

" His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours returns to
France, having, during two expeditions, partaken in the fa-
tigues and glory of our soldiers. The army had already been
taught t.. know the Prince at Constantina, and his new sojourn
in its ranks has only drawn closer the ties by which he was
bound to it. His memory will live in the three provinces, for
he has fought with the three grand divisions of this army,
whose courage and con,lancy he has learnt to appreciate. The
army will also live in his heart. He will tell the King how
much it merits, and how much more it will deserve the esteem
of the couetry, which is the impetus of all its actions. Gene-
ral Lamoriciere resumes, under my orders, the general com-
mand of the expeditionary column.
" The Governor- General BUGEA UD."

Dr. Baudens, who accompanied the late expedition in
Africa, has returned to Paris, and yesterday had an audience
of the King.

SERIOUS ' TUMULT IN BARCE-

LON A.

BARCELONA, JUNE 8.-Yesterday Barcelona was thrown
into the greatest consternation ; a panic seized all the inha-
bitants, in consequence of the assembling throughout the city
of large bands of labourers, who had left their workhouses to
proceed to the Custom-office, where a quantity of British
smuggled goods were to be sold by public auction. The Ad•
ministration had given notice of the sale through the papers,
and at four o'clock p.m..a body of about 4,000 workmen as-
sembled on the square of the Palace, and loudly demanded
that the goods should be burned, instead of being put op for
auction. 'lhe intendant, finding that the groups were assuming
an Mani- ing aspect, and fearing, with reason, lest the work-
men should commit some lxcesses, ordered the gates of the
Cusmm-office to be closed, and the sale to be discontinued.
Rut this measure did not satisfy the crowd, who appointed a
deputation to wait on the Captain-General Van Halen, to de-
mand of him the delivery into their hands, or the destruction,
of the goods. His Excellency replied, that his power was ex-
clusively military, andbade them apply to the civil authorities.
The mob, which had by that time considerably increased, then
proceeded in the direction of the spare of the Constitution,
where the municipality was holding an extraordinary meeting,
and concerting measures with the Political Chief and the
Commander of the National Guard. The workmen sent a
new deputation to the Ayuntamiento, repeating their request
to General Van Halen, and announcinc, their determination
not to retire until it was acceded to. In this alternative the
municipality, after two hours' deliberation, and with a view to
avoid greater disorders, resolved on purchasing the goods, and
committing them to the flames.
About hal-tast eight o'clock, the Political Chief, accom-
panied by some alcades and officers of the National Guard, re-
paired, amidst 7,000 or 8,000 workmen, to the square of the
Palace ; and having sent for the aleade, inquired of him what
was the value of the goods, and directed him to deliver them
up to him. This functionary at first refused to obey his injunc-
tion, not wishing to throw open the gates of the custom-house
for fear the mob should plunder its contents; but, after some
pourparlers, he consented to give up the goods, which were
burned at half-past eleven o'clock, in the square of the Con.
stitution, in front of the Municipality, which had been illumi-
nated on the occasion.

The workmen having obtained this satisfaction, then quietly
withdrew, but it is to be apprehended that they will exact
more, and perhaps assail the shops and stores in which a large
quantity of foreign merchandise is deposited.
The Captain-General displayed nomilitary force, and showed
no sign of life; fortunately no accident or misfortune occurred.
—Journaldes Debats.

fully aware of the impossibility of finding adequate sub-
sistence at home, are now most anxious to emigrate ; and
your Committee have considered it to be their duty to
call the attention of the Government to the subject, from
the concurrent testimony of all the witnesses leading
them to believe that the country is not, only liable to a
retu-n of such a visitation as that which occurred in the
years 1836 and 1837, but that, in the nature of things, it
must recur ; that the population is still rapidly increas-
ing, in spite of any checks which the landlords can op-
pose, and without any corresponding increase in the na-
tural productiveness and resources of the country.

REGULATION OF RAILWAYS,

MR. LABOUCHERE'S BILL.

The Select Committee appointed to consider whether it
is desirable for the public safety to vest a discretionary
power of issuing regulations for the prevention of ac-
cidents upon railways in the Board of Trade ; and if
so, under what conditions and limitations ; have con-
sidered the matters to them referred, and have agreed

to the following Report :
The discretionary power which is especially referred
to the consideration of your Committee is contained in
the 11th clause of the Bill :

" And be it enacted that it shall be lawful for the Lords
of the said Committee to issue, from time to time, such re-
gulations as they shall deem necessary for the prevention of
accidents upon railways. Provided always that such regula-
tions shall not prescribe anything of an experimental na-
ture, nor interfere v.ith the number of trains, nor with the
times of starting, nor with the stoppage of trains, nor with
the speed of travelling on any railway further than may
be necessary for the purpose of preserving an interval
of not mere than fifteen minutes - between succeeding
trains ; provided= also, that any such regulation shall
be, as nearly as circumstances may render it expedient,
the same upon all railways : provided also, that no such
regulation shall be in force after the first issue thereof
fur a longer period than six months, unless at the end of
sack six months the Lords of the said Committee shall
direct its further continuance : provided, also, that no
such regulation as aforesaid shall be binding upon any
Railway Company, unless the Lords of the said Com-
mittee shall have given to such Company one calendar
month's notice in writing of their intention to issue the
same, in which notice the precise nature of such in-
tended regulation shall be specifically stated, and if it
be intended to apply to particular railways, or in a dif-
ferent manner to different railways, the reasons for such
special applications shall also be stated ; and any Com-
pany shall be at liberty to memorialise the Lords of the
said Committee against such intended regulation, which
memorial shall be filed by the said Lords in their proper
office for such purpose, and submitted to Parliament as
hereinafter mentioned."
The reasons which were alleged as making it desirable
that this discretionary power should be given to the
Board of Trade are stated by Sir Frederick Smith, who
has been appointed to the situation of Inspector-General
of Railways. He observes that the question- of. Govern-
ment supervision having been settled by the Act of last
session for regulating railway's, it now only. remains to
determine the extent to which that supervision shall be
carried.

He states that it appears from the returns of accidents
made to the Board of Trade, and from the inquiries in-
stituted by the Board into their causes, that a consider-
able number have been occasioned by the want of proper
regulations, and might have been prevented if a power
of- issuing regulations had been vested in the Board of
Trade. He also considers it important for the public
safety that a power should exist somewhere of prevent-
ing what experience shows to have occasionally hap-
pened, the disregard of points so essential to the safety
of the railway traveller, that there can be no rational
doubt as to their necessity.
It is impossible, however, he says, to define the
powers which should be granted to the Board of Trade
as to the course they should pursue for the prevention of
accidents, until it can be defined what are all the various
causes having a tendency to endanger the safety of travel-
lers by railway.
In the present state of railway knowledge, if any po-
sitive and definitive enactment were made, as to the par-
ticular cases in which the Board of Trade should or
should not issue precavtionary regulations, the effect
would be that powers might be given where experience
would prove them to be unnecessary, while the authority
would probably be fettered where it might be required
to, have the widest scope.
The various differences in local circumstances existing
in the different railways of the kingdom necessarily oc-
casion a great variety in the system of their management,
so as to render many regulations which are highly pro-
per upon some lines inapplicable to others without occa-
sioning injury to the proprietors and inconvenience to
the public.
The real interests of the Railway Companies, as well
as the safety of the public, would therefore, Sir F. Smith
considers, be best preserved by vesting a die*tionary
power in officers responsible not only to the chief of an
important branch of the public service, but also to the
public and to Parliament.
It will be observed that in the clause above quoted the
discretionary power is limited in regard to several mat-
ters which are intimately and unavoidably connected
with the public safety, such as the number; speed, and
times of starting and stopping of trains.
These limitations have been introduced in order to
meet the views of different Railway Companies; who re-
, presented them to be important for the protection of
their interests ; bat your Committee believe that the
evidence they have collected clearly establishes the inex-
pediency of any such limitations, and they have there-
fore consi
dered the propriety of giving to the Board of
Trade a general, unrestricted, discretionary power in
all matters connected with the public safety.
With reference to the expediency of vesting such a
power in the Board of Trade, widely different opinions
have been expressed by witnesses of great practical ex-
perience in the management of railways.
On the one hand, it has been stated by witnesses ex-
tensively connected with railways, that they consider it
very desirable for the public safety that there should be
some power to regulate a great number of things which
cannot be regulated in any other way, but to enforce a
greater degree of uniformity of system than now prevails
in matters essential for the public safety; and that they
view the proposal to vest a discretionary power in the
Board of Trade without any apprehension of injury to
their interests as railway proprietors. On the other
hand, it has been strongly urged that the existence of
such a power in a Government department would be in-
jurious to the railway interest, and might tend to dimi-
nish rather than increase the safety of railway travelling,
by interfering with the responsibility of those entrusted
with the management.
It is established by evidence to the satisfaction of your
Committee, that the existing power of supervision vested
in the Board of Trade by the Act of last Session, for
regulating railways, has worked well hitherto, and pro-
mises considerable advantages for the future, from the
continuance of the amicable spirit and cordial co-opera-
tion which seems to have happily prevailed on the part
of both the Inspector-General and the Directors and En-
gineers of railways.
This amicable spirit, it has been represented by seve-
ral witnesses connected with railways, is likely to con-
tinue uninterrupted so long as the supervision of the.
Board of Trade is exercised as at present, in the way of
suggestion; but if an absolute power of enforcing regu-
lations under pain of a penalty were given, it might, al-
though exercised with • the greatestjudgment and for-
bearance, have .the unfortunate effect of engendering, on
the part of Railway companies, a desire of concealment
and feelings of jealousy which would not otherwise arise.
Influenced by these considerations, your Cominittee
recommend that the Board of Trade sbould not at pre-
sent have the discretionary power contemplated in the
eleventh clause of the Bill above quoted, and prefer that
the supervision of that department should be exercised
in the way of suggestion rather than in that of positive
regulation. At the same time they propose that minutes
should be made of the various suggestions which may
from time to time be offered to Railway Companies; and
your Committee make this recommendation with a view
to the suggestions themselves and the correspondence
arising therefrom being submitted to Parliament when-
ever they may be called for. -
Your Committee therefore suggest that, in lieu of the
11th clause, a clause should be substituted requiring that
Railway Companies shall enter in the minutes of the
proceedings of their boards of management, or in some
book to be brought under the notice of the Directors at
their periodical meetings, all such suggestions as may be
addressed to them by the railway department.
Your Committee are of opinion that one great source
of danger to the public may arise from a want of har-
monious proceeding on the part "of the managers of con-
necting railways, in reference to their regulations and
arrangements at the junctions ; and your Committee,
with a view to remove the difficulties which are likely
to exist in this matter, consider it expedient that when-
ever the directors of connecting lines of railways shall
not be able to agree upon arrangements for conducting,
with safety and' convenience to the public, their joint
traffic, it should be lawful for the directors of either of
such railways to demand that the arrangements for carry-
ing into effect the above object, so far as they can be
deemed to relate to the safe and convenient transference
of passengers and goods from one connecting railway to
the other, should be referred to arbitration, each of the
companies nominating an arbitrator ; and, in the event
of the disagreement of the arbitrators so nominated, the
railway department of the Committee of Privy Council,
on application in writing by either party, should be au-
thorised to appoint an umpire, whose decision should be
conclusive on such.points as may be submitted to him in
furtherance of these objects.
Your Cominittee are, therefore, of opinion that clauses
for the objects above stated should be added to the Bill.

JAMES HATFIELD.—..The work announced for
immediate publication under the above title is likely,
from its subject, to create as great asensation in the read-
ing world as has been .occasioned by any work of the
Dickens or Ainsworth school. The hero is the noto-
rious James Hatfield, the 'celebrated swindler and forger
of by-gone times, whose ingenious and elegant iniquities
were the talk and wonder of the whole country, from the
palace to the cottage, and whose marriage with the
Beauty of Buttermere forms one of the most interesting
incidents in the romance of reality. The scenes are said
to differ from those of the authors of ” Oliver Twist"
and " Jack Sheppard,,'
inasmuch as they are laid
amongst persons of rank and genius—Coleridge, Words-
worth, Southey, the Prince of Wales, Lords Castlereagh,

REFORM OR REVOLUTION. •
TO J. B. SMITH, ESQ.
LEICESI'Eit, JUNE 15, IS4I.
Sate,—l have frequently seen your name in connection with
the .Anti-Corn-law League, and have been delighted to read
your spirited addresses upon the repeal of that iniquitous and
diaholical law.
I have read with pleasure many suggestions and schemes for
carrying out your political designs, yet Lone have appeared to
me sufficiently to show to the working classes of this waning
country the destroying, starving, and killing influence of a
continuation of this wieked impost, and the paramount im-
portance of its repeal.
This country will shortly labou- larder the excitement of a
general election ; shortly, sir, the proud aristocrat with his
unjust protection, together with his deluded dupes, and the
tyrannical oppressors of our country will array themselves
against the honest and fair manufacturer, and the mental
powers, genius, and natural talent of the great and principal
producer of our country's wealth—the workingman.
I like, in all speculations, to know pretty well (at any rate
to have an idea) what ground I stand upon, in case I am
sailed to sustain a loss, where I expected a decided gain ; and
it is the same with me in the coming struggle. I want to
know, Sir, what is the decision of the Anti-Corn-law League,
in ca-e a majority of such men are returned. to Parliament as
will attempt afresh to tax, and still further toe ppress, and
ultimately to crush, " the people, the only source of legitimate
power."
Consideratioes as to your future steps ought now to be
earnestly and zealously entertained. Don't be secret in your
intentions; give the strong advocates of class legislature a fair
chance of getting up a defence against. the mighty phalanx
which you, Sir, as the Chairman of the body alluded to, could
assemble in twenty-four hours. There is a moral power, Sir,
against which Britain's sword will never be unsheathed; and
we have arrived at the crisis when, either we must strike the
blow at monopoly, or the blood-bespattered flag of revolution
will be hoisted in our streets, and our families will be hushed by
the dagger or the knife into the deep and dark oblivion of the
night of death.
As a proof we have arrived at this crisis, let me invite your
attention to your own immediate neighbourhood; look at these
vast buildings—your factories—if not altogether, nine out of
ten partially standing still ; see the commercial distress which
pervades every manufacturing district in Great Britain, and
then look at the vast masses of our fellow-creatures, as they
proceed in fearful armies to the union houses for relief against
actual famine, and for shelter to hide them from the pitiless,
pelting storm of a proud and overbearing aristocracy.
Bid every member of your praiseworthy band to take a dis-
trict ; bid him leave his home, his own fireside, his wife, his
children, and his friends, but not his country : kid him stand
by his 'Monarch in the hour of distress and difficulty, and urge
them unitedly to raise their banner, bearing this inscription
as their motto—" Peace on earth, good will to man."
We are all prepared to join your ranks, to nail our colours to
the mast, to surround the throne, and to declare
" Whie we've a hand to save,
Her foes shall harm her not."
You, Sir, on this great and momentous question posseas
more power and influence than any man in the empire besides.
You possess more of the confidence of your fellow-men than
any warrior that ever entered the field of battle—because you
are the commander in a moral war, a bloodless revolution, a
univeral strife for the recovery of right against wrong, and of
justice and mercy against tyranny and oppression. You are
destined yet to be the honoured instrument in the salvation of
your native land. The storm is gathering thickly—darkly—
the hour is near at hand—the drums beat—the cannons roar—
the enemy is not far in the distance, and a mighty, firm, de-
termined, resolute stand, would now avert the calamity which,
without it, hangs over our head. Commerce is resting on her
oars, all the nations of the earth are now anxiously looking to
the hour when England will assert her right—when every
" bread-taxed slave " will rise and shake off the chain which
has bound him to the earth. Property has made a stand,
and pauses ere she lisps her last " farewell !" Alachinery lies
dormant, a mass of lumber, waiting the result of our struggle,
ready either to sleep for ever, or to rise once more in active
energy and exercise at your call.
With these things before you, Sir, I want to know whether
you are prepared to be proclaimed the restorer of your coun-
try's rights or not. To you we are all looking—our ear is
heavy with listening for your call—call, and we'll respond with
a voice of thunder that will wake the dead.
I am no advocate for extreme measures except in extreme
cases. The Reform Bill was an extreme case, and this is an
extreme case. lam no advocate for physical force, for 1 have
always been of opinion that the firm, determined, resolute, un-
armed man in the cause of truth is stronger' than he who
brandishes the two-edged sword. Our God declares, that
" Cursed is he who withhokleth corn."
This question, Sir, is a proper question, a political ques-
tion, a financial question, a question for the poor man, and a
question for the rich, a insiral and religious question ; there is
not a man, or a body of men, beneath the canopy of heavers
but can fairly and honestly entertain it. All religious commu-
nities, in my opinio.i, ought to do so, and, I have no doubt,
will, if recommended by you as the Chairman of the A. C. L. L.
The people of England, when united, are almighty, and
knowing their power often prevents them making u-e of it.
We bate tyranny, and therefore cannot, dare out, practise it ;
but let the summons come—let the mandate come forth now
the measure has emanated from the person of our dearly be-
loved friend, guardian, and Sovereign —and let the manufac-
turers and merchants swear by the institutions and altars of
their country never more to open their mills and warehouses
until the measure, as proposed by Lord John Russell, shall
have become the law of the land.
Let this determination be entered into at Manchester.
London is prepared to follow, and no contradictory notes will
be heard from Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, Hull,
Derby, Leicester, Nottingham. Yes ! fallen Nottingham
will arise from her sepulchre of disgrace, and join the si-
multaneous shout with every town, city, village, and hamlet in
the country. You will see our good and loyal borough of
Leicester as a star of the first magnitude amongst towns, and
she will riot be looked upon as a mean planet in the counties of
this great country.
And on that great holiday the war-song shall be,
Rise, [tritons, arise. and proclaim that you're free.
Tell the proud haughty landowner what is your choice;
'I hat your cry w ill be "Freedom," your watchword " Rejoice;"
That you'll spurn all protection, and none you will give ;
For your rights you will struggle—by your skill you will live.
I am, Sir, your's obediently and truly,
A BREAD-TAXED SLAVE AND
A MANUFACTURER.

THE ELECTIONS.
We have been quite inundated with poetical effusions on the
present crisis, and we select the following as a very fair spe-
cimen of the whole.

" A Bumper for Napier."
Here's a bumper to Napier ! ay dauutless a sailor,
As e'er wore a jacket of British true blue;
Whose fame never yet has been dimm'd by a failure,
When his flag was afloat, and a foe was in view ;
And now, when the nations resound with his glory,
Shall he not be acknovvledg'd with pride by his own?
While the conquest of Acre is recent in story,
Shall Britons reject him for 111arylebone?

Here's a bumper to Napier—no braver or better
A tar or a Statesman his colours can show ;
The world is itself to his prowess a debtor,
Be it ours to pay him, in part, what we owe.
'Tie time round the brave and the holiest to rally,
To gird up our loins and be true to the throne ;
But one effort more, to the pull let us rally ;
The watchword is Napier and Marylebone.
A bumper to Napier ! the Lord of the Ocean!
Remember the deeds he has done 'midst its foam;
No pleader for f amine, no friend to commotion,
No slave of a faction abroad or at home.
Again shall the banner of triumph wave e'er him,
'l he ensign* that only hath victory known ;
And our bread-taxing tyrants shall tremble before him,
Success, then, to Napier and Maryleborre.
