fishery on the eastern Scheldt. Belgium, in return for
some equivalent concessions on the part of Holland, rc-
linquishes all claim to it.
We find the following proclamation of the King of
Prussia in the German Journal of Frankfort ; it is dated
Nolbnietz, Sept. 6:--" We Frederick William, &c., have
appropriated to the endowment of, a Protestant bishopric
to be established at Jerusalem, with the concurrence of
England, the sum of 15,000/. sterling, the -interest of
which, viz., 6001. sterling, forming the half of the salary of
the Bishop, we will pay beforehand. This sum is to be re-
mitted to the Archhishopsof Canterbury and York, and the
Bishop of London, as trustees of this episcopal see. If
at a subsequent period this capital can be invested in the.
purchase of lands in Palestine, but with our consent, the
capital shall be paid up to the before-mentioned trustees.
This sum of 15,0001., . shall be mentioned in the act of
endowment, but if the lands purchased in Palestine yield'
a revenue equal to an interest of more than four per
cent., the surplus shall be given, not to the Bishop; but
to be devoted to the funds of the bishopric.
" FREDERICK WILLIAM."

Two infamous outrages were committed almost simul-
taneously a few evenings ago. About ten o'clock a young
couturiere, returning from her work along the Rue du
Faubourg St. Honore, was stopped by two men, one of
whom drew from his pocket a small bottle, uncorked
it, and threw the contents in her face, which in-
stantly became dreadfully burnt. One of her eyes
was totally destroyed, and the other so much injured
that there is little hopes of its sight being saved. In
other respects the poor girl is frightfully disfigured.
The men attempted to run away, but one of them,
named Lebran, was followed by some persons who were
passing, and saw the cruel act, and secured. On being
brought to the object of his vengeance, she recognised
him to be the nephew of a person with whom she had had
an intimate connection, and who had acted from jealousy
or spite. Lebran is detained in custody, and a warrant
has been issued against his uncle. The other act was
perpetrated in the Rue St. Denis, about the same hour on
the same evening, when, as a tradesman was returning
home, he suddenly received a blow on the back, as if by
a stone or some missile, and soon found that a bottle of
some corrosive liquid had struck him, and burnt through
his clothes to his skin. Ia this instance, too, the assaiii
ant was caught and secured. He proved to be another
tradesmen in the same line, named Schneider, who hoped
by these means to disable his rival.
On Saturday evening, two men made their way, by
means of false keys, into an apartment in the rue
Monsieur-le-Prince, believing its inhabitants to be ab-
sent ; but they had hardly entered when the door was
shut to with a loud noise, and they found the occupant,
a gentleman of courage, standing by them with a sabre.
He kept the rogues at bay till he called in the neigh-
bours, with whoso assistance he seized and bound his
unwelcome visitors. They were soon after safely lodged
at the Prefecture, with the tools by means of which they
hoped to have done a profitable job.
The body of the man who threw himself off the Co-
lumn of the Place de la Bastille, a few days ago, has been
recognised at the Morgue by his friends ; but his name
has not been allowed to transpire. He was a Frenchman
of respectable family.
The Moniteur Parisien states that at a sale on Satur-
day, at the Hotel des Commissaires-Priseurs of the for-
feited pledges, from the Mont-de-Piete ; he saw a five-
franc piece put up and sold for 4f. 70c. ! This pledge
had been in pawn 15 months, and the Moniteur naturally
asks, who could have been the madman who deposited a
five-franc piece to receive only three fifths of its value ?
The German journals state that an engineer of Vienna,
named Klein, has invented a method of preventing
sparks and ashes from the fires of the locomotive engines
of railroads from falling on the passengers in open wag-
gons, without, however, diminishing the current of air
necessary for the fire. The 'experiments made on the
Vienna railway have been so satisfactory that it has
been resolved to adopt his apparatus, and to burn wood
instead of coke. M. Klein has taken out a patent for his
discovery.
A letter from Strasburgh, in the Augsburgh Gazette,
states that the Treaty of Commerce between France and
Holland is beginning to bear fruits. A great deal of
cotton had arrived by the Upper Rhine, and within a few
weeks about 3,000 bales have been imported into Stras-
burgh.
The Armoricain of Brest says that the Belle Pottle fri-
gate is shortly expected in that port.
A letter from Mostaganem of the 16th ult., in the
Constitutionnel, states that while the expeditionary column
was in the flat country, the town of Mascara was twice
attacked by Ben Hameidi, the Lieutenant of Abd-el-
Kader, who tried to take it by assault, but was repulsed
with loss. The regular battalions of the Emir's troops
suffered the most in these attacks.
General O'Donnell has arrived in Paris.
The Gironde states that the three millions of francs,
said to be sent by Queen Christina to the insurgents in
Spain, never reached its destination. "The money was
stolen," says this Journal, " and the incident occurring
during a serious political conflict, is characteristic of our
. epoch." The Temps kas a report to the same effect.
Letters from St. Sebastian of the 26th October, say
that the persons taken at sea by the National Guard of
the city, while they were endeavouring to reach the
coast of France, were eighteen in number. Among them
are the Marquis of Santa Cruz, the Count de Corres, the
Marquis of Valmediano, the Marchioness of Santa Cruz,
late governess to Queen Isabella, the Countess de Corres,
and Don Manuel Larrondobuno, member of the foral
deputation of Guipuscoa. They are' all to be tried by
the Military Commission at St. Sebastian. It is
affirmed that General Rizo has been shot at Bilbao, when
Esparteru's troops entered. There are also reports of
the execution of General La:Heia, and his two Aides-de-
Camp at Santander.—Gazette de France.
A report is spread at Paris that the Regent Espartero
had granted an amnesty, or was on the point of granting
one. The Ministerial papers make no mention of this
news, of' which the Ministry was said to have received
notice.
A letter which we have received from Bayonne, dated
the 20th October says:—" The Christine officers who
have taken refuge at Bayonne, live in abundance; it is
asserted, that three millions have arrived here which
have been distributed among them and the soldiers who
followed them. The attention which is shown them, gives
credit among the public, to the absurd report which they
circulated of a French intervention in Spain.
M. Duchatel, our prefect, who arrived at Bayonne the
day before yesterday, has changed the itinerary of the
Christino general officers. Instead of going to Pau they
go to Bordeaux.
The Memorial des Pyrenees says :—" The Government,
wo are assured, has given orders for several regiments,
garrisoned in the south, to march to the frontier
of the Pyrenees. Part of these troops are already on
their march.
It is said that General Rulhieres will have the chief
command of these troops (about 100,000 men), and will
have his head-quarters at Pau.—Cunstitutionnet

The Exchequer Bill case, as will be seen by our Man-
sion-house Report, is at length about to undergo a
public investigation. It will not do, however, to examine
Mr. Smith in private, and Mr. Rapallo in public ; and
we are not sure that justice has not been severely
wounded by the proceedings already adopted.

On the 26th ult., General Rodil issued a Proclama-
tion dated from San Sebastian, in which he offered a
free pity 4„0 nil insurgents who would claim it within
it
two e., 4 p
,y§, except,
,the abettors of the rebellion at
Pateuna, Vittoria, and Bilbao, who are to be shot
witliont mercy. All deserters are likewise to be shot,
as well as the encouragers of desertion, and the spread-
•')U
ers; abroad of idle rumours to the prejudice of the Go,
vernment. As Rodil is a man of blood, the exceptional
articles in his proclamation will doubtless be executed in
all their relentless integrity.'
The R:e"Ofit Estriero, has addressed a proclamation
to the armyof,.. the worth, invoking their co-operation
in crushing the rebellion, and addincr that he has the
fullest confidence in their loyalty and devotion to the
person of their old General and companion in arms.
Generals O'Donnell and Urbistondo are reduced to in-

digence by their late ,insurrectionary attempts in Spain.
Will Christina Munoz requite them for their losses in
her service ?
In a letter froin Bayonne, of the 29th ult., we find the
following statement:—" The total number of refugees who
have, up to the latest date, entered France since the
breaking out, of the counter-revolution, may be esti-
mated, including officers of every rank, at about
4,000 persons. More than 1,500 entered by St. Jean-
Pied-de-Port and Sarre, and nearly 2,501) entered by
various other points. The disposition of this body is
thus arranged :—O'Donnell, Ortigosa, Urbistondo, and
the General staff, are stationed at Pau ; the other
officers, of superior rank, are quartered in two or three
villages in the immediate neighbourhood of that town ;
the captains and subalterns remain, some at Condom,
and others at Dax, whilst the great body of the men are
quartered at the two last-mentioned places. Such a dis-
posal of a force so lately in rebellion in their own coun-
try looks as if the French Government really intended
that it should form a sort of advanced guard, to be ready
at a moment's notice to re-enter Spain." 6We have heard
it whispered that Louis Philippe is resolved upon making
another revolutionary attempt in Spain, and that he
awaits but some Republican movement in Cadiz, Barce-
lona, or Malaga, to declare himself."
The following from the Memorial of Pau would indi-
cate that General Zurbano, though a stern, bloodthirsty
officer, has some sense of humour:—" Zurbano, on read-
ing in the Patriota that his head was put at the price of
100,000 reals, replied that the head of the President of
the Government (Montes de Oca) was worth no more
than a haunch of venison and a bottle of wine, which was
all he would give to those who might get hold of him."
General Leopold O'Donnell has arrived in Paris. It
would be curious to witness his first interview with Ma-
dame Munoz.

The 7'oulonnais has an article to the effect that a dis

armament of the French naval force has been resolved
upon. It appears, however, that the discharged crews
will be replaced by conscripts, so that an additional naval
force will be created.

The French Journals of Monday occupy their leading
columns with the insurrectionary conspiracy at Brussels,
which appears from all accounts to have been a most
wretched aftitir.
