fields, but had not murdered them. The cart was driven
to the spot indicated by him, where spots•of blood were
to be seen, but no other.traces of the object.; of search
could be found. Ferolles was the next point. Here his
house was minutely inspected, and in it was filiscovered
one shoe of the eldest of the missing girls, her comb, and
a red ribbon she wore, all of them spotted with blood.
No further traces have yet been met 'with."
—" A short time ago," says the Constitutionnel,
" Count Arrivabene and M. Bianchi, of Milan, two
young men of 18 to 20 years of age, being at Nice, and
wishing to make a trip to • France, but not having pass-
ports,Amgaged two-men" to ferry them over the river
Var. When they were in 'the middle of the stream,
these men plunged their passengers into the water, held
them down until they thought they were drowned, then
returned to Nice with the money and effects of their
victims. Ono of the young men, being able to swim,
gained the bank, where; he lay exhausted arid apparently
dead, but was Ind on the following morning arid re-
stored. The news of this crime having reached the
police, the authors of it were sought for, and one of them
was apprehended in a public-houSe, where he was en-
deavouring to sell some of the stolen property. The
other escaped into France, but is said to have been since
lodged in prison, on the application of the Sardinian
authorities."

We are requested to state that the gentleman upon
whom the Pope has conferred the title of Count is not
the Hon. James Talbot of Malahide, but Mr. James
Talbot of the county of "Wexford, and brother to the late
Member for Boss.

Two men; named Mare and Ferry, who, as our
readers may remember, murdered a man named Delahaye,
at St. Yeast, in the Seine Infcrieure, aided by the wife
and sister of the victim, to whom they were paramours,
were executed at Rouen the day before yesterday, in pur-
suance of the sentence of the Court of Assize in May
last. They died penitent. The two women, who had
also been condemned to death, have had their penalties
commuted into hard labour for life ; the wife of Dela-
haye being enceinte.
Duclos, who was brought before the Court of Peers
with Darmes and Boret as an accomplice in the attempt
to shoot the King, but acquitted, made his appearance
on Saturday before the Cour Royale, upon a double ap-
peal, one by himself, and another by the public prose-
cutor, against the judgment of the Correctional Tribunal,
whereby he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment,
and a fine of 300 fr., for having been found in possession
of warlike ammunition, but acquitted of that part of the
indictment which accused him of being a Communiste.
The Court confirmed the sentence of conviction and
punishment, but rescinding that of the acquittal, consi-
dering it to have been fully proved that the prisoner had
belonged to an unlicensed association, and therefore ad-
judged him to pay a fine of 3,000 francs, in which the pre-
vious 300 franca is to merge.
• Several objects of antiquity have just been disco-
vered at Lyons, whilst digging the foundations of a new
building, on the hill of Fourvieres, the Forum vetus of
the Romans. Amongst them are a complete set of jewels,
which eighteen hundred years ago were the ornaments
of some great Roman lady, viz., an emerald necklace, a '
pair of ear-rings, set with various precious stones, an-
other necklace, probably of amethysts, but much altered
by time, a curious chain, at least two yards in length,
sonic rings, upon one of which is engraved a proper
name, in Latin, and the words devoted to Venus, three
pairs of bracelets, several large and fine pearls, &c., &c.
The gold of the bracelets and other articles, is so pure,
that it was as bright as if it had just come from a jew-
eller's shop. "

"The pediment of the. Chamber of Deputies," says
the 2lioniteur, "is the fourth in rank as to size of all
known structures of the same order. The greatest is
that of the Madeleine, the inner dimensions of which .are
108 feet in length at the base, and twenty-four feet in
height. The figure of Christ is seventeen feet in stature.
Next follows the Pantheon of Paris, which measures 106
feet by 21. The third is the Pantheon at Rome which
has 91 feet by 19. The measurement of that of the
Chamber of Deputies is 90 feet by 16 feet, the figures
being in the proportions of between 12 and 13 feet in
height."

Two days ago, a man, who was cleaning out a sewer
in the Rue de Navarin, was nearly suffocated by the
mephitic vapour. A courageous young man immediately
went down with a rope tied round him, and, in a few
minutes returned with the other, who was almost dead,
but medical assistance being at hand he was soon restored.
" The followingtragulal event," says the Constitu-
tionnel, " occurred a Short time ago at Florence. A
negro in the service of Prinde Corsini, having amassed
some money, received the consent of the parents of a
young girl named Nunciata Goldoni to his marriage
with her ; but us the girl was a fervent Catholic, and Za-
mor, the negro, a 31ahometan, every possible effect was
made to bring about his conversion. These efforts, how-
ever, were fruitless, and the marriage ceremony was
delayed. The father of the girl having invited the
negro to dinner, he ate heartily, but rejected the wine
when pressed to drink; upon which Nunciata said with a
smile :—"rhere is no danger in drinking wine now, as
you are no longer a Mahometan, for you have been eat-
ing pork.' Furious at the trick that had been practised,
Zamor immediately stabbed the girl to the heart, and her
parents having attempted to defend her, he also killed
the father, and next attacked the mother and her son,
whom he also killed. Two soldiers, having heard the
cries of the victims, rushed to the spot, when Zamor
snatched up a gun which was at hand, and shot one of
them dead. The other soldier levelled his carbine and
shot the negro, who died on the spot."
-- We spoke yesterday of the acecident which had
happened to his Majesty the King of Sardinia. A pri-
vate letter, which we have this moment received from
Turin,. dated the 29th of July, announces that in fact
his Majesty the King of Sardinia had had a fall from his
horse, in his park of Raconis, but that this accident did
not hinder him from mounting his horse again, and con-
tinuing his ride. The accounts are perfectly satisfac-
tory ; his Majesty scarcely feels any effects from his fall,
and has not interrupted his usual occupations. IVe see
with joy that this accident will have no serious conse-
quencesarddeivnottae . t

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—The ;usual Ministerial
Circular to the Members supporting the Government
sets at rest the question of the meeting of Parliament.
It is in the following words :

" Downing-street, July 31, 1841.
" Sir—As, upon the meeting of Parliament, on Thurs-
day, the 19th of August, the House of Commons will
immediately proceed to the choice of a Speaker, and to
the consideration of business of the highest importance,
I take the liberty of earnestly. requesting your attend-
ance on that day.—l have the hoLour to be, Sir, your
obedient, faithful servant, " J. RUSSELL."

NICK NAMES.—Some of our Tories call the present
Ministry the. Deficit Miiiiitry,-and will of course be pre-
pared for us to call their friends the Monopoly Ministry,
the Thieving-by-law Ministry, the Ministry for exe-
cuting the Devil's laws, the Anti-Social Ministry, the
Anti-Trade Ministry, the Anti-Civilization Ministry,
the Squirearchy Ministry, or the Starvation Ministry.
At least, such is a sample of the epithets they well de-
serve, from the principles on which they, are coming
into office ; and some one of those, or similar epithets,
will be applied to them, according to the taste and fancy
of different parties. Looking to the subtrfrges of Sir
Robert Peel, the contemptible accusatiois of Lord
Stanley, and believing that they will be powerless to give
effect to their own detestable doctrines, we shall be in-
clined to call them—the Mean Ministry.
ANOTHER TORY' LIES.;--All the Tory Jour-
nals have greedily copied from the Manchester Courier
the falsehood, ofwhich the following letter, addressed to the
Standard, is a correction :—" Temple, Aug. 4.—Sir,---
Your habitual truth and candour in your advocacy of
political principles prevents the suspicion of any inten-
liana/deception in.your re-publication of a paragraph.
headed " American Cheap Bread, from the Manchester
Courier;—" Five pounds of bread sold in Philadelphia
for a shilling!" and a comparison with the 61b. of bread
sold in Manchester for 1u cu. ; by which you would make
it seem that bread is mitcli cheaper in England than in
Philadelphia. The shilling, however, in Philadelphia is
not the sterling coin, but a coin of which there are eight
in every dollar, each of them value about sixpence ster-
ling. Therefore 51b. bread is sold in Philadelphia for
sixpence, whilst in Manchester 61b. is worth lOid. You
will now perceive that bread of the first quality is much
cheaper in Philadelphia than in Manchester. —I am, Sir,
your obedient servant,—A TRAVELLER."

STOCK OF GRAIN ON HAND) etc.—The far-
mers, from the very fine weather we foi merly had, and
the agitation of the corn question, thrashed out largely,
and I coniider they will have none in six weeks : we
shall, therefore, be dependent on the granaried stock,
which is small. We have no free wheats, either foreign,
Scotch, or English ; our stock consists only of 40,000
quarters of wheat in bond ; last year, at 2d September,
we had 150,000. We may possibly get other 20,000,
which will make our stock 60,000—under half of what
we had last rear. Our millers and bakers have none,
and are daily buyers from the farmers.— Caledonian
Mercury,

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Optivion.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
The Duke d'Amaule, fourth son of the King of the
French, has returned to France from Africa, thoroughly
disgusted with the cut-throat and incendiary system of
warfare carried on between the soldiers of General Bu-
geaud and Abd-el-Kader. French Africa is a bad school
for the education of such preux chevaliers as the Royal
scions of the stock of Orleans, and we are therefore not
surprised that Princes so honourably and virtuously nur-
tured, shrink from the very touch of such victorious bays
as encircle the brows of a Bugeaud and a Clause]. A
son of France would blush to conduct a razia.

The late Municipal Council of Toulouse protested
against the Royal Ordinance pronouncing its dissolution,
and in mimic imitation of the first National Assembly
voted its sittings to be permanent. It also refused to
admit the new Mayor, Baron Lejeune, whose installation
on the 31st was effected by force. The late Mayor, M.
d'Arzac, has been arrested, and will most likely be sent
to Paris. These Toulousians are such troublesome fel-
lows that the Government is likely to lose more than it
will gain by quarrelling with them.

Tne leven of insurrection has been discovered in
the heart of the military garrisons at Paris. Several ar-
rests were reported to have taken place in consequence
on Wednesday morning. The French soldiers have a
trick of remembering, reciting, and construing literally
certain orations made by the Citizen King immediately
after the July revolution, which, to say the least of it,
manifests a poor progress in the discipline of Courts.
The execution of three criminals at Rome on the
20th ult. led to a tumult, in which 12 persons were
killed and 200 wounded. The last of, the three dying
wretches uttered furious imprecations against the spec-
tators, who thereupon were seized with a panic, and fled.
They were attacked by thieves, and the result we have
stated above. This is another of the bitter fruits of an
adherence to the murderous and inhuman system of
capital punishments. And then think of the horrible
iniquity of extinguishing the life of a wretch while in
the act of imprecating destruction upon his fellow-
creatures I Sending him with hatred in his heart and
curses upon his tongue before the awful judgment-seat
of God I It is awful.

The Sultan and Mehemet Ali, as the Tamworth
quack in days of yore said of the British nation and the
national debt, are " quite in a family way ;" the Sultan
having made an offer of the hand of one of his sisters to
a son of the Viceroy. Such a mark of the Imperial
favour often occasions the object of it many wry faces.
The happy bridegroom of a Sultana cannot increase his
harem without her permission ; cannot enter her
apartments without leave ; must place no limits
to her extravagance ; and wanting, in the discharge of
any marital duty, must patiently endure the application
of his lady's slipper to his mouth,•without so much as
daring to look offended. Sultanas are privileged terma-
gants, and are usually bestowed upon Pachas of whom
the Porte has some dread. The Sultan, if he pleases,
may either destroy or mutilate their offspring.
A letter from Constantinople of the 14th ult. repre-
sents the Candian insurrection as virtually suppressed,
and denies that the Albanians were guilty of any ex-
cesses. If they have subdued the Candiotes we have
little doubt that it will be discovered at Constantinople
that they behaved like lambs. It was their gentle bleat-
ing that frightened the Candiotes into submission. Is
Tahir Pacha, then, to sand no heads to Constantinople?
Reschid Pacha, the ex-Turkish Premier, is to be
sent as Ottoman Ambassador to Paris. We may hence
infer that the Reform party is regaining its lost ground
at the Porte.

The English are in bad odour at Alexandria. This
is because they keep too vigilant an eye upon the move-
ments of the Viceroy, whose intrigues are known to our
Government. But for England, Mehemet Ali would
quickly regain all the ground he lost in consequence of
the Treaty of London. He is raising 20,000 Albanians,
nominally to assist him in restoring the tranquillity of the
holy cities of Mecca and Medina, but in reality to re-
establish his authority over the portion of Arabia for-
merly subject to his arms.
The Belgian exhibition of arts and manufactures
was opened at Brussels on the Ist inst. All the authori-
ties were present assisting at the ceremony.
M. Bartolot, formerly editor of the Courrier Belge,:has
been fined 10,000 f. for a libel on the chief of the Medical
Staff.

The Marquis of Douglas, the Duchess of Hamil-
ton, and other very distinguished persons from Great
Britain have arrived at Brussels.

The Morning Post institutes an elaborate comparison
between the state of the operatives in manufacturing
towns and the labourers in agricultural districts, the
object of which is to show that the landlords and farmers
are, generally speaking, a less selfish and grasping class
of men than the master-manufacturers. Our Contempo-
rary, though be insists warmly on this point, fails to es-
tablish it by argument.
The Times, in an article written with some address
on the case of Macleod, endeavours to embroil this coun-
try with the United States, by putting the worst con-
struction on the case, observing :—" As long as the
American Government find that we may be trifled with
with impunity, they are willing to gratify the passions
of the populace by anticipations of the judicial murder
of one of the Queen 'of England's officers. If by any
fatal mischance that monstrous act should ever be con-
summated, the horror and disgust of the whole civilised
world will fall as heavily on the statesmen by whom it
was tolerated, as on the savages by whom it was com-
mitted."

The Morning Advertiser refers in just terms of
praise to the convocation of Ministers of the Gospel who
are about shortly to assemble at Manchester, for the
purpose of deliberating on the best means for pro-
curing the immediate and entire abolition of the
corn monopoly. "These Rev. Gentlemen," says our
Contemporary, "very properly • disclaim all political
or party feeling in the enterprizes in which they
have embarked. They have been induced to
enter the arena against the corn monopolists, solely from
considerations of benevolence and humanity." This Con •
vocation speaks trumpet-tongued for the enlarged hu-
manity of those who have projected it. Never before
were clergymen engaged in a juster or more righteous
cause. It is an attempt at a practical enforcement of the
favourite doctrine of our Saviour—Peace on earth, good-
will to men.

" It is nothing new for the nobility or gentry of
either party"—says the Herald, with reference to Lord
F. Egerton's rumoured scheme of raising a body of ca-
valry—" to maintain bodies of cavalry to aid the civil
force in those districts where experience has shown that
such aid may be occasionally useful ; nor did any one
ever suppose that such bodies were raised with an ulterior
and sinister object. No sensible man would have sus-
pected the Whig Lord Yarborough, for instance,
of meditating feudal oppression or compassing
civil war, because he maintains a splendid corps
of yeomanry in North Lincolnshire." Certainly
not, for we have confidence in his Lordship's principles
and know that he will never exert his influence to dis-
perse or cut down bodies of people assembled peaceably
t ) discuss their 'grievances. But is this the case with

the Tories? With the example of the Peterloo massacre
before us, perpetrated by a troop of Tory yeomanry, we
are fully justified in regarding with distrust the creation
of another such troop, officered bYlnen who have always
looked on public meetings with the eyes of fear and
jealousy.

The Chronicle observes—" We have received a let-
ter from Manchester, which gives a most alarming ac-
count of the state of things in that great capital of the
manufacturing districts. You will hear (says our cor-
respondent) of meetings of the unemployed thousands
soon—quiet at first, but who can answer for the results
when angry and hungry thousands meet ? Now, Sir,
you may believe me or not, bnt I must state my opinion,
and that very plainly—nothing but commercial reform,
including a great alteration in the Corn-laws, and that
vet), speedily too, can save this country
I shudder while I write it, but ask nine men out of ten
that you meet here, and the impression on their mind is,
that there is something in the present distress so awful
as to defy description, and therefore they fear the worst.'"
And where is Sir Robert Peel's remedy for this state of
things ? The Whigs have boldly and frankly proposed
theirs but where is the great Tory leader's ? Day by
day matters are getting worse—yet not one syllable
about a remedy do we hear breathed by the Tories—not
a word even that can give the people encouragement !
While thousands are starving, the faction is wasting its
time in selfish exultations at the thought of approaching
place and pay ! So Nero fiddled while Rome was
burning !.

The Ballot, according to the Cheltenham Exam finer
has made prodigious progress lately. Men who have all
their lives opposed secret voting—seeing at last the ne-
cessity of some measure of protection to the voter—
have given in their adhesion to this un-English method
of ensuring fair play. The undisguised manner in which
Tory tyranny has been exercised throughout the king-
dom, and the extent to which that tyranny has produced
the desired effect, have forced the conviction in number-
less instances, that the only method of preventing the
constituencies being bound over hand and foot to the To-
ries, is a vigorou application of this radical remedy.

The Cambridge Advertiser is of opinion that the
country will not put up w:th the government of so tricky,
shifty, weak, and solfish a Minister as Sir Robert Peel,
and that no plausibility, however cunning, no deception,
however powerful, can cajole the people of Ireland. No
AdMinistration which numbers Stanley and Peel among
its members will ever be tolerated by Ireland.
The Worcestershire Chronicle regards the projected
establishment of corps of yeomanry as a demonstration
in support of the tax upon bread, a scheme to bolster up
at once the Corn-laws which force the working man upon
the parish, and the Poor-laws, framed, as is well known,
with a view to relieve the landed interest.

--- Trade at Irvine is very flat at present. The sewing

LAW AND PONCE.

A respectable mechanic being tried at Hampton
Court, for breaking a bough off a tree in Bushy Park, was
ordered by the Ma!Zistrate, instead of the five shilling
fine, to draw a large roller over the gravel walk of the
Wilderness for half an hour.
