it at least made a step towards one of the solutions
which is desired ? Has the succession of the Duke
de Montpensier become more certain, because General
Serrano has not quitted the palace ? Is the Queen
separated more completely than ever from the
King, more likely to give heirs to the crown,
than under the Salamanca Ministry, and thus
render more distant the causes of conflicts be-
tween England and France? Is our Government in a
word, nearer to a reconciliation or nearer to a success?
No. It aggravates rather than it repairs the unpar-
donable fault of the double marriage, which has al-
ready caused so much injury to liberal Europe, and
compromised so profoundly the interests of our cause
and our country. Ceding as hitherto to its puerile
habit of swelling valueless facts by words, of deceiv-
ing the nation by false appearances, of taking the
trumpet of charlatans for an instrument of renown, it
endeavours to transform an event brought about by a
palace intrigue into a diplomatic victory, and which,
moreover, commented on as it is now, cannot have
any other effect than to irritate liberal Spain, and to
evenom the resentment of England. Oh ! the clever
men, the wise Ministers of the Government of 1830,
who by a single act have divided the two most
civilised nations, prepared hostility towards France on
all points of the world, delivered up Poland and
Switzerland at the same time, compromised the cause
of Italian independence, the repose of Spain, of
Greece, of the East, the security of our African fron-
tiers, and who consider themselves gloriously recom-
pensed by the advantage obtained by M. Serrano over
M. Gandara in a struggle of influences r
The .National has a long article on the financial
crisis in England, the object of which is to show that
the Bank of England was instituted solely for the
purpose of crushing France.
The ex-King of Westphalia, JEROME BONAPARTE,
and his son, went yesterday to the Invalides to pray at
the tomb of the Emperor NAronEort. They were
received by General PETIT and the staff officers of the
Hotel. While they were performing their pious duty
the news of their arrival went round the hospital, and
when they came out, the greater part of the veteran
soldiers were ranged in ranks to do them honour as
they passed.
The following is the order of the day issued by the
Duke D'AUMALE on taking the command of the Army
of Africa :
" On taking the command of the army of Africa,
the Governor-General of Algeria feels it his duty to
testify to all the officers, non-commissioned officers,
and soldiers of which it is composed, the pride he has
in finding himself at their head. Having been already
called five times to serve in their ranks, he has long
known how much may be expected from their devo-
tion to the King and to France. Confiding in their
courage and in the tried merit of their valorous
generals, he cannot doubt that success will continue
to crown all their noble deeds. The army, which
has accomplished so many great feats, has expressed
universal regret at the retirement of the illustrious
chief to whom it owes so much glory, and under
whose orders I should have so much loved to have
again: found myself. Let him, then, receive this new
expression of the lively and grateful recollection which
the army of Africa must ever preserve of him.
" Lieut.-General, Governor-General of Algeria,
" H. D'ORLEANS."
The Journal des Debats publishes the following from
Naples

" We yesterdy received letters from Naples of the
28th ult., in which we have the most entire confi-
dence, and which confirm what we have had occasion
to say several times as to the truth of the news which
are manufactured every day at Marseilles and at
Malta on the affairs and situation of Italy. Thus,
with respect to what has recently occurred in the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies, has it not been daringly
asserted that the insurgents of the Calabrias disposed
of an army of 4,000 foot soldiers, 700 cavalry, and
17 pieces of mountain artillery ? Has it not been
announced that General Nunziante had been beaten
near Cosenza, that the Calabrias and the Abbruzzis
were in flames, that sixty -five of the best families
of Messina had seen most of their members shot
by the royal troops, that the King himself had
been taken, &c. &c.! But nothing of all that is
true. The insurrectional movements which have

taken place on several points, have never been of suf-
ficient importance to cause real and serious disquietude
to the Neapolitan Government; and, that is so true,
that the principal chief of the insurgents, Romeo,
gave himself up to the royal troops, which, be it ob-
served en passant, does not prove that all those who
fell into the hands of the authorities were shot with-
out pity. At present the insurrection is conquered,
and the King's Government is everywhere strong,
and everywhere master of the situation. All the
points on which it could conceive fears are occupied
by imposing forces, and columns traverse the pro-
vinces at this moment as they do every year at the
same period. But that is not all the truth, nor the
best part of the truth. We consider it certain that
King Ferdinand has not remained insensible either to
the deplorable disturbances which of late years have
at different times troubled the peace of his kingdom,
or to the glorious movement which Pius IX. has
given to the Governments as well as to the nations of
the Peninsula; we believe, in short, that if he has
vigorously suppressed the insurrection, he understands
the necessity of making concessions for the future to
liberal opinions, and that he has promised, after the
victory, to employ towards the conquered the finest
prerogative of strength and royalty—mercy."
Count WALEWSKI has been appointed Minister Ple-
nipotentiary from France to the Germanic Con-
federation.

REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
(Before T. Y. M'Cuutsnu, Esq.)
ST. DUNSTAN'S IN THE WEST.
The name of William Bradbury was objected to
by Mr. Brown, on the ground that he was not duly
rated.
It appeared that the entry in the rate-book was
simply "Punch-office," and a witness also proved
that Mr. Bradbury was rated.
Mr. Brown contended that an impersonal rating
such as that of " Punch-office," was not sufficient to
entitle Mr. Bradbury, or any other person, to take
any benefit from it. If, for instance, the Messrs.
Bathe and Beebe, the proprietors of the London
Tavern, were neither of them rated as such, and the
only entry in the rate-book were the words " London
Tavern," that would surely not be a rating of the
cecupants such as was required by the Act.
Mr. Smith, on the other hand, argued that Mr.
Bradbury was only rated under a misnomer, or in-
accurate description. He was the party bound to
pay the rates, and was bond fide called upon to
do so, and had done so, and it was, therefore, clearly
a case which came within the provision of the 40th
section of the Reform Act, by which any inaccurate
description in the rate could be obviated.
The REVISING BARRISTER thought that the objec-
tion was not a valid one, and he certainly felt disposed
to award Punch his costs.
Objection disallowed.
Mr. Lake, described in the register as residing at
No. 2, Shoe-lane, and on the list stated to reside at
No. 1, Shoe-lane.
Mr. Brown objected to the name upon this ground,
and maintained that it ought to be expunged.
Mr. Smith contended that the Court had the power
to alter the number, it being only an erroneous de-
scription.
The COURT held that the name ought to be ex-
punged, and fined the overseers in the sum of al. for
their neglect of duty.

TIIE DECIMAL COIN.—The first of these new
coins, agreeably to the plan of Mr. Shen, will be a two
shilling piece. The design has been completed by Mr.
Wyon, of the Royal Mint, and displays great chasteness
and artistical taste. The obverse will display a figure
of her Majesty, the head being surrounded by a wreath
of laurels. The reverse will be a gothic design, but
until the coin is completed any detailed description
would be premature.
