lOND')N, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 16, 1847.

Our excellent brother Jonathan has been "shown
up" in a most ridiculous light, and that at the most
inopportune moment imaginable. As one of the
United States' newspapers remarks with a characteris-
tic outburst of grief—he is proved to have been regu-
larly " humbugged and bamboozled" in the purchase
and annexation of Texas ; and, what is worst of all,
by no astute diplomatist, by no TALLEYRAND, no
METTERNICH, no MACHIAVELLI, but by plain SAM
HOUSTON, a fellow in a blanket coat. " Oh, Messrs.
TYLER, UPSHUR, DONELSON, and the rest, what flats
you are all made to appear !" is the pathetic ejacula-
tion of this Transatlantic journalist. And the " pre-
ciously humiliating truth," the revelation of which
is here bemoaned, is proclaimed simply in a letter
addressed by the ex-President of Texas to Col. HATCHE,
the editor of the Texas Banner. Nothing certainly
could be more calamitously timed for Mr. President
POLE and his colleagues than this epistle of-General
HOUSTON, appearing, as it does, at a junctult when the
Councils of Washington are embarrassed by the in-
creasing unpopularity of the Mexican invasion, and
when that unpopularity is confirmed by the election
of a majority of Whig representatives in the new
Congress, and the accumulation of new difficulties
around the heroic armaments of those most redoubt-
able captains—TwlGGs, SCOTT, ZACHARY TAYLOR.,
and CAnWALLADIR PILLOW. Just when Mr. Pleni-
potentiary TWIST is rebuffed by the Mexican Con-
gress, when the arrival of PAREDES in the invaded
territory complicates the position of its assailants,
when the party adverse to the continuance of the
war obtains the preponderating influence in the Le-
gislative Chamber—out comes this disclosure of SAM
HOUSTON, proving that the spangled standard of the
model republic was darned in more senses than one,
and that the Supreme Government of the said model
republic had been grievously humbugged and bam-
boozled ! Oh, Sam HOUSTON ! thou art answerable
for the cholic that will inevitably seize upon the en-
trails of JAMES POLK ; for it is a disastrous thing to
show that the United States was " done " in con-
triving the annexation of Texas, just when the same
policy is about to be adventured upon by the annex-
ation of California.

The lovers of national independence—those
who detest the system of territorial spoliation—
will he grateful to the ex-President of Texas
for a document which must warn the whole popula-
tion of Yankeeland against the pursuance of a course
which apparently tends to the aggrandizement of
their dominions, but which in reality only abstract,
from their treasury so many millions of dollars, and
ultimately exposes them to contempt and ridicule.
The letter of General HOUSTON, indeed, tells as plea-
santly as an anecdote —as did the anecdote
of Cousin FEENIX at the dinner-party in " Dombey
and Son." Here, howeN er, it is not of a bride who
has been regularly bought, and a bridegroom who has
been regularly sold ; but it recounts how Texas was
regularly bought and how the United States was
regularly sold. Unfortunate dupes of the man in the
blanket coat, you had immeasurably better have
maintained silence, and thus purchased by your
quietude the taciturnity of your cajolers !
The circumstance which elicited the mai-a-propos
explanation of SAM HOUSTON was simply this. His
attention had recently been directed to a document
relating to the Texan negotiation, published in the
Weekly Union, and signed by ex-President TYLER—
in which document Mr. TYLER states that it was
only when he had acquired information that exer-
tions were being made by certain European Go-
vernments in reference to the isolation of
Texas, that he (the then President of the
United States) empowered his colleague, ABEL
TIPSEIUR (since deceased), "to scatter to the winds
the web of those intrigues." What is the revelation
of General HOUSTON upon this point ? Why it is a
revelation most humiliating to the character of that
ex-President, most derogatory to the national 'cute-
ness hitherto regarded as a distinguishing character-
istic of the citizens of the model Republic. It would ac-
tually appear that the intelligence which decided Mr.
TYLER to scatter the intrigues of the European
powers to the winds through the agency of good,
credulous ABEL UPSIIUR, originated solely in theimagination of SAM HOUSTON ! Yes, the
ex-President of Texas was disappointed at
the in-
decisive character of the proceediegs of the United
States in regard to the annexation of the territory un-
derhis rule, and for the purpose of at once bringing Mr.
TYLEa to good terms upon a bad bargain the man in.
the blanket coat " bamboozled " the statesmen of
Washington with these reports of imaginary intrigues.
President TYLER was caught with a bait that would
not have deceived the most simple-elinded gudgeon,
and Texas was taken for better, for worse, for richer,
for poorer, by the Government of the United States.
Such is the exposure which is simultaneous with the
arrival of PARYDES in Mexico, and the return of a
Whig majority to the Congress at Washington ; such,
in tine, is the revelation which is mentioned by an
elegant and classical writer in a New York journal
as a " preciously humiliating truth !"

THE SIIN,

their pita in the important offices he has hitherto
filled, an eir earnest }lope that he will, in the ad-
ministration the affairs of the vast empire over
which he has been selected to preside, afford new
evidences of his skill and judgment, that the British
interests, the British honour, and the British justice,
will be maintained in his hands, and that he will
deliver his trust to his successor, whenever he may re-
turn to his native land, to enjoy the otium cum dig-
nitate, unimpaired and untarnished.

The duties of the high station which has thus de-
volved on the Noble Earl are of no trivial weight, of
no unimportant character. If the appointment is one
of the most honourable and lucrative in the gift of
the Crown, it is likewise, probably, the most arduous
and responsible. True, it is, that many dark and
lowering ',clouds, that formerly hung over the entire
country with ominous and threatening aspect, are no
longer visible in the political atmosphere ; peace and
tranquillity have been restored in almost every por-
tion of the entire Anglo-Indian empire, while no appear-
ance of hostility is discernible amongst our neighbours.
The British power has been established, and the
native princes have received the most impressive
lessons, not; only of our valour and energy in war,
but of our moderation and justice in the hour of
triumph ; not only of the hopelessness of provoking
a contest, in which they must be aware that success
is almost impossible, but also of its uselessness and
absurdity, greater attention being paid to the remon-
strances of those who appeal to our justice or gene-
rosity in the garb of peace, than if backed and sup-
ported by myriads of armed troops. Our Indian
dominions have never been in a more prosperous or
tranquil condition than at the present time, and,
consequently, this is the propitious moment for in-
troducing reforms and ameliorations by which the
happiness and welfare of the countless millions who
acknowledge the British rule may be advanced, and
the best interests of the parent State may be pro-
moted. The arts of peace are now to be practised, the
extraordinary resources of the empire are to be deve-
loped to the utmost extent. The burdens that un-
duly affect the native population, are to be removed
or mitigated, so far as it may be practicable to do so.
The taxes that press on their industry must be revised,
and extensive alterations effected. Monopoly must
be abolished wherever it still exists ; and, first, that
gigantic and baneful salt monopoly, by which such
grievous injustice is committed, and the hum-
ble comforts of the people are so seriously
impaired. The collection of the revenue must be
placed on a new footing. The principles of free
trade must everywhere be carried out, and its good
effects will speedily be visible. The cultivation of
the cotton crop must be encouraged, and the impedi-
ments and difficulties heretofore interposed in the
way of its production must be set aside. The heavy
Customs duties on the exportation of the products of
the eountry must be entirely abolished, or at least
important modifications introduced, and the facility
of internal communications, whether by railways or
otherwise, increased as far as practicable.

These are a few only of the matters of deep and
pressing exigence to which the attention of the
Noble Earl will have to be directed on his
arrival at the seat of Government. He will
he required, as he stated, " to set a stout heart to a
steep brae." He has already proved himself to be pos-
sessed of the qualities that fit him for his high posi-
tion ; by his own talents and his own industry he has
worked himself forward until he has attained the
lofty eminence on which he is now placed. His selec-
tion is equally honourable to himself and to those by
whom he was chosen. During his whole political
career he had been opposed to the present Govern-
ment, but, notwithstanding that opposition, his abili-
ties and integrity had been appreciated, and twice he
had received the offer of office from the Whig Mi-
nistry, °and on the present occasion that offer was
Freely repeated and as freely accepted, without any
iactifice of principle. The Noble Earl stated that
he was bound to say, with pleasure and
gratitude, that no men could have behaved
more frankly, more confidentially, or more honourably
to him than her MAJESTY'S advisers had done in this
instance." This confidence will enable him to carry
into execution those measures that may appear ad-
visable, but it will increase the responsibilities of
which his Lordship seems to be so fully aware. We
crust that the expectations that have been formed will
riot be disappointed; that the knowledge of com-
mercial matters acquired during his Lordship's con-
nexion with the Board of Trade may be turned to the
best advantage, and that on his return he may be
greeted with a testimonial of esteem, respect, and
Approbation similar to that by which his departure
was cheered and honoured.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon, to the
9th, by the bteam-ship Iberia. The split between
SALDANISA and the CABRALS is complete. The Duke
of TERCEIRA has joined SAEDANHA'S party. Serious
disturbances had taken place at Oporto. All parties
were busy preparing for the elections. The Bank of
Portugal was about to issue 2,000 contos of rein in
notes.

A combined attempt at insurrection has broken out
,imultaneously at Reggio and Messina to the cries of
Long live the Constitution !" but these attempts
were repressed. A letter from Naples, dated the
;th, announces that the steamer the Polypheme,
which arrived on the evening of the 3d in that town,
'lad brought some particulars respecting these at-
tempts, of which the Neapolitan Government had been
I)reviously informed by telegraph. The authorities
Ind the troops who were on the spot sufficed to re-
establish order. The 3d and 4th regiments of the
hie had marched without hesitation against the in-
iurgents, although Colonel Busacca of the 3d had
,)een struck by two balls. According to what the
Neapolitan Government caused to be published in the
evening of the 4th, in an extraordinary supplement of
the official journal, the affair had no gravity. The in-
tendant of Messina announced that only four persons
had been killed ; but it was rumoured at Leghorn that
300 persons had perished in the engagement. After
having re-assured the population of Naples by the
publication of the supplement, the King of the Two
SICILIES caused two battalions of the 6th regiment
of the line, which were at Capua, as well as the Bth
regiment of the line and a battalion of sappers and
miners, which were in the capital, to be immediately
embarked in five of the Government steam-vessels.
General NENZIANTE took the command of these
troops, and received orders to throw two battalions
into Reggio and afterwards proceed to Monteleone
with the three others. The following are the terms
in which the Neapolitan Government has announced
the disturbances :—" We announce, assuredly to the
general satisfaction, that Messina and Reggio (where
public tranquillity has been troubled by the act of a
[nob of malevolent persons, have, thanks to the
bravery and excellent spirit of the royal troops, re-
turned to a state of perfect calm. We give this
,imple notice this evening, the journal of this day
being already published."
Letters from Turin of the 9th inst.
,announce the
arrival there of Monsignor CORBOLEI Bussr, who
had been sent by the POPE to negotiate an offensive
and defensive alliance between Piedmont and Rome.
Tuscany was believed to have already adhered to the
alliance. The POPE'S Envoy was immediately re-
ceived by the KING, with whom he transacted busi-
ness without the intervention of M. SOLAR DE LA
MARGARITA, the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

It is said that King CIIARLES ALBERT has de-
clared that if Austria does not give satisfaction to
the POPE he will proclaim thy independence of Italy.
The Piceno of Ancona gives the following as part
(4 the letter written by the King of SARDINIA to the
POPE, offering him support. The latter portion of
the extract is of such a nature as to throw a doubt
over the whole :—" As a King and an obedient son of
the holy See, I acknowledge that we arc bound by
the same ties as father and son. I highly disapprove
of the conduct of Austria. and place at the disposal
Hof your Holiness the whole of the forces of my king-
dom. At the same time, I have directed some of my
troops t© march upon that part of Italy which is in
the possession of the EMPEROR, with orders not to
return till after the Austriani have evacuated the
Pontifical States."
A letter from Milan of the 9th says—

ness of the weather, and were put off till yesterday.
The people assembled in the Piazza Fontana, crying,
Long live Rornilli !" Long live Pius IX. !' when
suddenly between five and six hundred persons came
from the Porta Tessine in martial order, shouting—
' Italy for ever !' and singing in loud chorus Rossini's
hymn to Pius IX. The police immediately sent a
company of mounted gendarmes to disperse the
thousands of people gathered in the square, and
no one can depict the scene of confusion that ensued.
The 500 or 600 of the populace kept their ground,
and resisted the armed force, shouting, Down
with the police Down with the Austrians !' The
riot soon became so serious that the new Archbishop
went down into the square, accompanied by Al.
Greppi, the Municipal Councillor, and harangued
the people, M. Greppi also addressing them as friends
and comrades. The rioters removed from the square,
but re-assembled in another place. All the patrols
of the police and the troops were assailed, disarmed,
and insulted, by having their faces spit upon, amidst
cries of Down with the Germans I' There was also
another movement in the Campo Santo, and in the
twinkling of an eye, the policemen, gendarmes, and
troops, were compelled to give way to the superior
force of the populace. At a later hour further re-
inforcements came up, and by four in the morning
order was nearly restored. But we apprehend there
will be renewed disturbances this evening."
Some disturbances took place at Arezzo on the 4th,
and the rioters attacked the bakers' shops. A civic
guard was at once organized, which restored tran-
quillity by arresting the ringleaders of the rioters.
A letter from Leghorn of the 9th says—
" After the manifestation which took place on the
4th the agitation went on increasing. All affairs were
suspended, the people were continually in the streets,
executing military promenades to the heat of the
drum. The troops quitted their flags, took the
cockade of the three Italian colours, and fraternised
with the people. The inhabitants of Pisa proceeded
en masse to Leghorn, and the two populations united.
Te Deum was chaunted, and the clergy blessed the
national flag from the cathedral, before an immense
crowd of people, kneeling down. On this occasion,
Professor Mentanelli, of Pisa, delivered an energetic
speech, which had great effect on the auditory. He
said that they must prepare themselves for resistance,
for attack, and for the conquest of Italian independence
by arms. The committee, which was charged by the
people to prepare the grand fete of the Bth, had drawn
up a programme, which was scrupulously executed.
All the parishes of the city and the adjacent country as-
sembled, and marched in procession, with the clergy at
their head. A Te:Deum was again chaunted, in
honour of the Pope and of the Grand Duke. A
statue of the latter was uncovered, amidst the accla-
mations of the crowd, and very animated speeches
were delivered. An order of the day prescribed to
all the people to take the tricolour cockade, to which
were joined the colours of the Pope, and the Italian
flag was displayed. Greater enthusiasm was never
seen. No one, however, can say what may be the
consequences of that political demonstration. The
leaders of this movement began to be uneasy with
respect to the moment at which it would be necessary
to disperse these masses of people who had quitted
their work. In the meantime a rendezvous was given
to the people for Monday, the 12th September, under
the windows of the Palace Pitti. The railways will
serve for the conveyance of an innumerable crowd.
The programme of this new demonstration had not
been drawn up, but there was a talk of demanding
the unlimited liberty of the press, and of proclaiming
a constitution."

The Observer of Trieste contains the following
letter, dated Pola, the 2d instant :—" This morning
five ships of war of the Austrian naval division left
this port. These vessels entered here on the 26th ult."
Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived.

The Duke of FRIAS arrived at Madrid on that day.
t The Eco del Comercio states that General Maz-
ZEREDO is desirous of being sent as Ambassador to
London.

According to the Espanol, Senor ZARAGOZA will
be Under- Secretary of the Interior, and Senor CA-
BESTENAT Political Chief of Madrid.

The Paris journals of Tuesday announce the death
on the previous evening of Marshal OUDINOT, Duke of
Reggio, at the age of 81. The Marshal, who was one
of NAPOLEON'S most celebrated generals, was, at the
time of his death, Governor of the Invalides.
The Journal des Debats, maddened by the observa-
tions of the Opposition press on its recent articles on
Italy, pours forth a column and a half of the most
virulent abuse of the Italian Liberals, mingled with
some schoolmaster-like lectures to the Austrian and
Italian Princes. In this article an endeavour is art-
fully made to sow dissensions among the. Liberal
party in Italy; and to attain this end the system of
" enormous lying," which is the foundation of the
juste milieu policy of M. GUIZOT, is brought into
requisition. The weapon, however, is not used with
M. GUIZOT'S wonted, skill. It is amusing to find M
GUIZOT in this article expressing his horror at the
occurrence of the insurrection at Messina, as " reveal-
ing the existence of a party that desires to shed blood."
M. GUIZOT had not this horror of bloodshed in 1830.
Had there not been at that period in France a party
" that desired to shed blood I" and had not M.
GUIZOT and LOUIS PHILIPPE been at that time of that
party, the first would never have been Minister, the-
last would never have been KING. In a journal pro-
fessing Legitimatist principles this horror of "a party
who desires to shed blood" would be consistent. In
the organ of a dynasty and a Government founded
upon a revolution brought about after three days hard
fighting in the streets, this profession of a horror of
bloodshed is gross hypocrisy. M. GUIZOT, however,
is so annoyed at the consequences of his crooked
policy that some allowance must be made for him.
" For the Opposition journals," he pathetically ex-
claims, in this very article, " Italy is only a field
which must be turned to account to excite ember-
rasments for our Government." And it is evident
that the Government is as embarrassed as the most
virulent Oppositionist could desire it to be.
A courier arrived on Monday with letters from
General NARVAEZ, and a Council of Ministers was
immediately held at St. Cloud, at which the KING
presided.

CHRISTINA and her husband were at the Palace
while the Council was in deliberation, and had a
long audience of Louis PHILIPPE after it; broke up.
The determination of the Turkish Government to
withdraw the: exequatur from the Greek Consuls
throughout the Ottoman empire is a fresh source of
annoyance to M. GLIZOT. The National says--
" This is going quick to work, and after a debut of
this nature an amicable arrangement can scarcely be
hoped for. It is necessary either that M. Colletti
shall yield and retire, or that he shall accept the re-
sponsibility of a state of things with which war is
inevitable. At this moment the unfortunate Minister
must have his eyes turned towards France, whose
protection has caused him so many mortifications.
Austria, whom he had chosen as arbitrator, has united
with England, Russia, and the other Powers in approv-
ing of the conduct of the Sultan. '_Al.:Bourqueney alone
has protested at Constantinople. There, therefore,
remains to the King of Greece no other resource than
M. Guizot. Sad position and sorrowful hope ! Otho
may ask his neighbour the Pacha of Egypt, what that
support is worth, and what value he ought to esteem
the promises which he has received. M. Piscatory,

he expects."

M:DEEAND, the gerant of the Gazette de France,
who, on the day the Democratie Pacifique was ac-
quitted, had been condemned by default to imprison-
ment for one year and a fine of 3,000 francs, for
having on the 21st of August published an article on
the murder of the Duchess DE PRASLIN, appeared
on Monday before the Court of Assize of Paris to
purge his contempt, and to answer the charge of the
Attorney-General of having excited hatred and con-
tempt against the Government. The jury returned
a verdict of guilty, and the proprietor of the Gazette
de France was sentenced to three months' imprison-
ment, and to pay a fine of 2,000 f. (801. British.)
In commenting on this prosecution, the Commerce
observes

A magnificent banquet was on Tuesday given to
the Earl of DALHOUSIE, at Edinburgh, as a farewell
mark of esteem and respect previous to his departure
for India, whither he is about to proceed to assume
the important duties of the office of Governor•
General, to which he has recently been appointed.
This gratifying testimonial of the approbation the
Noble Earl has earned for himself by his conduct
was attended by persons of every party and of every
shade of political feeling : all were anxious to testify
their sense of the ability and discretion manifested by

" The Advocate-General, in developing his requi-
sitory, did nut fail to observe that the Gazette de
France was a Legitimatist journal—that is to say, that
it clung to the old order of things ; and nevertheless,
he said, that journal advocated very liberal prin-
ciples. The Advocate-General from this drew
the conclusion that the liberalism of the
Gazette is only pretended, and that it
serves as a mask to the efforts by which
it wishes to re-establish a regime, the indulgence
of which towards political liberty was not precisely
its principal defect. This argument appeared to suc-
ceed with the jury, and to the effect which it pro-

Milan has at length had its agitation. The following

duced may be attributed the sentence pronounced.
We think that there has here been a surprise in this.
It is time to admit the truth. There is at the pre-
sent moment but one opinion felt by the Legitimatist
party, and that opinion is, that it reconciles itself to
all the conquests of the present order of things, and
to all the hopes of the future. We do not hesitate to
declare that this fact of the conversion of a party
merits great consideration. It is necessary that it
should be known that the old divisions no longer
exist; that France is henceforth unanimous. Only
the problem to be solved are more profound. The
great question amongst us is the full establishment of
social order, which is threatened by certain official
excesses, and other excesses which are the natural re-
action of them. In this state, it is useless, it is un-
just to be severe on account of enmities of which we
have scarcely the remembrance. It may suit the
public prosecutor to recal to mind' on every occasion
the history of our former struggles ; the country
ought to be more magnanimous, more politic, more
enlightened; every one ought to be judged according to
the activity which he displays in the work of general
amelioration:'

The Courrier Francais having lately contained the
following paragraph :—" It appears that a number of
shares have been reserved by MM. TALABOT for the
bureaux of the War Department. It is at least
averred that General MOLINE DE ST. YON is inscribed
on the registers for 100 definitive shares, &c. ;" the
General has addressed a letter to the above journal,
giving the most formal denial to the assertion. " I
here declare," says the General, " that I have not
the honour of knowing MM. TALABOT; that I have
never found it necessary to have any intercourse
with them, and that I have neither a share, nor a
promise of a share, not only in any railroad, but in
any industrial enterprise whatever."

It would appear that the accounts of the successes
of ABD-EL-KADER have been much exaggerated.
He has not taken hostile possession of Taza. The
Echo, of Oran, gives the following account of the
position and prospects of the Emir :
"Ever since the Emir has taken refuge in Mo-
rocco he has established himself on a mountainous
zone peopled by Kabyle tribes, who have been in-
dependent for centuries. His position as a retreat is
a good one, but his means of acting beyond it cannot
be considerable, from the very constitution of the
populations on which he has known to force himself.
The interior of the empire, on the contrary, is peo-
pled by a numerous makren, whose existence is
connected with that of the Cherifs. The Kabvles
would not adventure themselves there after the Emir,
and even if they consented to follow him, he himself
would not dare, with his small army, to march with
banners floating against the chief of the religion.
There is in what passes, and beyond what our eyes
can distinguish, more of reciprocal circumspection
than is imagined between the two leaders in this
struggle, one of whom is seated on a throne which
is splendid in the eyes of Islamism, and the other of
whom is under the necessity of not quitting the
character of defender of the faith. Thus it is that
we saw the latter, after having seized the camp of
the Caid El-Amar, endeavour to excuse himself for
the victory by pleading the necessity of his own
defence. The corpse of the Caid was not yet cold
when he protested his respect for the sacred autho-
rity of the Emperor. Such are the two situations ;
the may be prolonged in these conditions of equili-
brium, but any one may calculate the effect which a
Christian influence would produce thereon."
The remains of Louis BUONAPARTE, ex-King of
Holland, who died some months since at Florence,
are to be deposited at Reuil, beside the tomb of
Queen HORTENSE.
The infant son of the Duke and Duchess D'AUMALE
was christened on Monday, at St. Cloud. The Duke

The Univers gives the following as the result of the
harvest in France :

"In Brittany and Normandy the harvest was ex-
cellent, and considerable quantities of new wheat
have already appeared in the markets. In Upper
Normandy wheat sells for 18f. per hectolitre, and in
Lower Normandy for 22f. This difference is owing
to the grain not being sufficiently dry to be sent to
market. The northern markets are also stocked with
new wheat. The last market at Lille presented
double the quantity brought thither in August. An
important reduction in the price has taken place
throughout Picardy. It amounted to 7f. or Bf. per
hectolitre at Arras; 6f. to 7f. at Amiens; Bf. to 10f.
at Beauvais ; 7f. to 8E at Montdidier ; 3f. to 4f. at
St. Quentin; 5f to 6f. at Pont St. Maxence, and Bf.
at Clermont. In the Beauce the fall was not
so marked. It, however, averaged 6f. at Char-
tres and in the neighbouring towns. Large
quantities of wheat and flour arrived at Havre from
the United States at the close of August, and a fall
likewise ensued. In Alsace and Lorraine, at Metz,
Nantes, and Strasburg, the markets are abundantly
supplied with new corn. In the Meurthe sad Mo-
selle the same abundance prevails ; and wheat sells,
on an average, for 17t per hectolitre. At Nantes,
Tours, and Angers prices continued to decrease in
consequence of tne numerous offers of new wheat. In
the country round Orleans, Bourges, Clermont, and
Le Puy, the harvest was most productive, and a con-
siderable diminution in the rates must shortly mani-
fest itself. The same may be said of Lyons, Dijon,
and Besangon. At Lyons the hectolitre of wheat
sells tor 20 francs, and, farther south, at Toulouse,
for 17 francs.

We regret to learn that the potato disease has ap-
appeared in the neighbourhood of Metz. According
to the Echo Azncole, at least half the crop has been
destroyed.
The panic on the Paris Bourse made new progress

The meeting of Bank of England proprietors this
morning has been of an interesting character, and a
dividend of 4f per cent, has been declared. The state-
ments made at the meeting show the affairs of the cor-
poration to be in a prosperous and perfectly sound
condition, and with the prospect of the resources
of the establishment being steadily strengthened.
Some remarks were made upon the subject of the many
failures of late years of members of the Board, and it
seems probable that upon a future occasion the matter
will excite further attention.

There are no further arrivals to-day with later news,
and we have nothing of special interest in refer-
ence to the Money Market, in which there is
a temporary lull. We understand that the great ca-
pitalists of the City are resolved to support each other
in the present crisis, and this alone, if the statement be
correct, should inspire confidence.

The accounts from Trieste still advert to the decline
in grain, and some accumulation of supplies.
The tone of the English Funds has been better this
morning, and there have been some money purchases,
though not much has been done for account. Consols
are 861 I for present transfer, and 861 43 for time. East
India Stock has been at 238. Exchequer-bills are 2s,
to 6s. premium. Bank Stock for account is at 196 i.
The Foreign Securities are very dull. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been 201, and Portuguese Four per
Cents. 24k. Mexican Bonds are 01 1. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are 541 to 544.
Railway Shares are flat still, with some few excep-
tions, but prices are nevertheless rather higher than
yesterday.

Slit,—Some time since you reported in your valu-
able journal an occurrence on the Great Western
Railway, whereby the worthy Bishop of Exeter was
exposed to inconvenience and some danger from the
impossibility that at present ex;sts of the passengers
communicating with the guards, or the guards with
the engine-driver. I was also once subjected to
serious inconvenience from a circumstance that oc-
curred when I was travelling from Liveroool
with my friend, the late Frederick Yates. A
lady who was in the same compartment of
the carriage with us suddenly became fran-
tically mad, and in that fearful state we were
obliged to travel upwards of twenty miles until the
train arrived at the next station. I fancied my voice
was not that of a babby, but I could make no im-
pression upon the auricular organs of the officials ;
and whatever may now occur in any of the car-
riages must remain unperceived by the guards
until the arrival at the stopping place. Now I do
not pretend to any engineering skill or experience in
railway matters, although I was once nearly terrified
out of my propriety in what my friends the engi-
neers called "a little run" on a locomotive, but
which I fancied was a very touch-and-go kind of bu-
siness which Idu not intend to try again. However,
I fancy there exists a simple means of making the
guards" hear that the passengers want their attention ;
and I would suggest that in each compartment of
every carriage there should be suspended a powerful
Porteous whistle, such as I frequently hear used at
Apsley House to give notice for opening the gates,
when F. M. the Duke of Wellington and I happen
to be going homewards at the same time (not
together).
The quality of sound possessed by these whistles
is excessively acute, and grates terribly on my musical
ear, but I am told that that they can be heard at a
great distance, and above any rumbling of a train ;
so I think that they might be very advantageously
employed for remedying the inconvenience on the
subject of which I have ventured to address you. If
you will insert my note, which has attained a greater
length than I intended, I shall feel indebted.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
PAUL BEDFORD.
Theatre Royal Adelphi, Sept. 15, 1847.

THE RIVER THAMES.—This morning was one of
the lowest tides ever known, even in the memory of
the oldest steam-boat captain. In the very centre of
the river, close to Waterloo-bridge, the mud was
some feet above the water, and at ono o'clock the
river steamers were compelled to cease plying for the
first time since their introduction on the river. The
scene at the Adelphi Pier was graphic in the extreme,
almost worthy the pencil of a Hogarth. Beyond the
usual floating pier for landing passengers, a plank
about ten feet long was rigged, and secured by an
upright, over which ladies and all were compelled to
climb by the presiding Charon.
CHILD CARRIED OFF BY AN EAGLE. —A little boy,
ten years of age, of the commune of Hery-sur-Alby, in
the canton of Geneva, was lately seized by an eagle at
th© moment at which he had taken some eaglets from a
nest. The bird carried him to a height of upwards of
v6looolemntetiigiit
metres, the summit of a rock, where, luckily, some
shepherds were engaged, who immediately rescued the
poor boy. He had sustained no other injury than a
and the profound impression of On eagle's
claws.

STEGGUL V. SMITH.
PASSING TIIE COLLEGE.—This Wll5 an
action te
recover the sum of ten guineas on defendant's Plat'
antee.
The plaintiff is a doctor of medicine, and the
amount was claimed for services in qualifying e
of
friend of the bankrupt to pass the Colleg:
Surgeons. It appeared by the evidence that ays
the
and
College named Palmer came up from Rugby to pasd
College of Surgeons and Apothecaries Hall,
agreed to pay plaintiff 15 guineas for instructiOt
and the defendant also wrote a letter, saying that
,cti
Ns'eu
Palmer could pass in a month he (defendant) er
make plaintiff a present of 10 guineas. reltiltig
passed within the time specified, and gave plain _
151. beyond his agreement, together with two?d;
h
of champaigne, some hams, meat, cigars a n,
and ultimately a grand dinner was given to
d thai
Palmer, who was called as a witness provee
plaintiff and defendant met, but could not state ttij "s
conversation, as he did not dine with them, t
examination had been so inciting to his appetitfee rithe
he ordered dinner instanter. The question now wt
whether the plaintiff had taken such extra trouble '—
to entitle him to additional remuneration.
The Learned SECONDARY said the question Whs.'.
whether the plaintiff had done more than vvsl,;ll
duty under the contract with Palmer. If PalL:
could have passed upon the ordinary instructions
the defendant would not be liable, for there would
a want of consideration for the contract. If, linweve.i'
the jury thought from the evidence that more tide,,
duity was shown by plaintiff to facilitate the tea
Pendant's object than could have been justly expee
u
of him under the original contract, then they vo
find for the plaintiff.
Verdict for the plaintiff—lol. 10s.
